<p dir="ltr">I'm playing a much longer game than Daniel - when you're thinking in terms of the next few months, then the PEPs are only significant because the pip folks (sensibly, IMO) have made that a condition of merging wheel support (at which point people will naturally start using them more, since they won't have to seek them out, pip will cache the built wheels automatically)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Core support only starts to matter once you're thinking in terms of *years*, and the way beginners will encounter Python's distribution ecosystem in 3.4+ :)</p>
