There are a large number of reasons why binary compatibility between various different distributions, and different versions of the same distribution is not possible unless you integrate very tightly with packaging system, which is something that I don’t see being possible with wheels. I would love to hear how you envision solving that.</div><div><br></div><div>Wichert.</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></span></blockquote><div id="bloop_sign_1406317386582205952" class="bloop_sign" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;">Include the distro name and version in the compatibility tag, so something like:</div><div style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;"><br></div><div style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Cython-0.20.1-cp27-none-linux_x86_64-ubuntu_14_04.whl</span></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Will that guarantee the OS-provided Python was used?
