I dont think there is... at least, I can't think of one.  None of the
PyPI classifiers[1] seems to cover the "pure Python .vs. compiled
code" installation requirements.  AFAIK, this is usually buried in the
setup.py code of each package, so it's not easy to inspect it.

But, we can define "only Pure Python modules" as a policy, document it
and hopefully flag it on code review.
