How to pip install package without building its' C extensions?

Question

Is it possible to pip install package which provides optional C-extension, but specifically disable process of compiling those extensions?

Sample examples of such packages are:

_speedups in markupsafe
_posixsubprocess32 in subprocess32

It's not because it's setup.py that decides what and how to build. You have to download sources, unpack and edit setup.py to avoid building extensions.
