The benefit of wheels is that they’re platform specific so that you don’t need to have a lengthy and dependency ridden compile process, you just install the one that works on your OS and architecture and you’re good. Packages written entirely in Python don’t have this problem since the code is pretty much just copied into dist-packages

I see, thank you, that's much better.

I'd still try to shove the platform-specific stuff in a package manager and delegate that complexity to it.
