[Distutils] question about claiming potentially abandoned namespaces on PyPI

Re: [Distutils] Distutils question

Great, thanks! It looks like out of tree builds are supported fine even in distutils. Properly written extensions will also find the build directory as a property of the build command. There should be no barrier to using the single build wheel function for the pep. On Sun, Jul 9, 2017, 10:33

This is a longstanding issue in that the ABI tag (the middle tag in py27-none-linux_x86_64) is not implemented for Python 2.7 in bdist_wheel or in pip. The design calls for a cp27d tag for your wheel, instead it is always none. It would be pretty easy to fix by writing some Python 2 code that
