Because I want to provide (at least) two wheels: a wheel for linux users with the C extension compiled and a generic wheel in pure python as a fallback for any other architecture. If I make the extension optional, as far as I know, only one wheel is produced: the wheel with the extension if all is successful, or the pure py wheel. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
