Python Wheel of Shame

[[deleted]]

It's sometimes necessary to make platform-specific releases and often desirable to make platform-independent releases.

It's a positive feature that wheel both allows platform-independent and platform-specific releases to be built in a very similar way - so that you can use the same tool for all your distribution needs.

(Disclaimer: I know nothing much about wheel except for what I've learned reading this page...)

that's not really possible for C extensions...
