Reading from http://www.python.org/~gbrandl/build/html2/packaging/setupcfg.html#extension-modules-sections Of course if you are always installing from wheel you would probably continue to specify anything build-related in Python, and only the install-time metadata from setup.cfg's [metadata] section would need environment markers. Wheel doesn't include setup.cfg or setup.py, just the .dist-info/METADATA generated from those files. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
