Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:8 kencu]:
 > We have found modules in python do fail to build at times on certain
 older or non-standard systems, especially the c interface modules I
 recall. So that is not a complete surprise.

 By the way how to patch files inside .whl? Like for example:
 Python-3.8.12/Lib/ensurepip/_bundled/pip-21.1.1-py3-none-
 any.whl/pip/_vendor/packaging/tags.py
 I can see this file in BBEdit, but if I try `cd` to there or `cp -p`
 directly, it fails, I get this error:


 {{{
 Sergey-Fedorovs-Mac-mini:Lib svacchanda$ cd
 /Users/svacchanda/Documents/Python-3.8.12/Lib/ensurepip/_bundled/pip-21.1.1-py3
 -none-any.whl/pip/_vendor/packaging
 -bash: cd:
 /Users/svacchanda/Documents/Python-3.8.12/Lib/ensurepip/_bundled/pip-21.1.1-py3
 -none-any.whl/pip/_vendor/packaging: Not a directory
 }}}

 So I can edit the original file, but dunno how to generate a patch with
 diff.
