It is - however adding os2 the the list of platforms to the ones to 
exclude gets me only a little further:
It then bombs with:
running build
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):

 if '--with-system-expat' in sysconfig.get_config_var("CONFIG_ARGS"):
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 1
Which again points to problems with sysconfig.get_config_var("CONFIG_ARGS"):
