<p dir="ltr">We do plan to support it, but the pip devs uncovered
a hole in the current wheel spec that means it generates the
same filename on *nix systems for wheels that need to have
different names for the download side of things to work properly
- hence the current Windows-only restriction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Once ensurepip has landed in Python 3.4 and pip 1.5
is released, we should be able to get back to updating the
various metadata specs, with the aim of getting cross-platform
wheel support in pip 1.6 :)</p>

Ok, but then wheel should be explicit about that and not pretend to<br>
work on OS X. I tried that a week ago on a PySide install on OS X,<br>
which compiled very long, and crashed at the end.<br>
If wheel does not support bdist_wheel on a platform, it should
refuse<br>
to install at all, IMHO.<br>
