Why are you doing this?
If all you want is for it to be possible to install the package from
source on a system that can't use the C part, you could just declare
your extension modules optional
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.
What's wrong with sdist as a fallback rather than a wheel?
That has the added benefit of people on other architectures have the
opportunity to use the extension module if they have a compiler and the
necessary libraries and headers installed...
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.
