Hopefully this all will solve this problem, as it is right now if you use setuptools entry points then Wheels erroneously pretend to be platform agnostic.
That's not unreasonable, as long as they don't contain executables.
With the current version of distil, built wheels don't contain executables for scripts. The executable launchers are determined / written at wheel installation time. While distlib currently uses bespoke launchers, I plan to update it before the next release to use the PEP 397 launcher compiled with SCRIPT_WRAPPER.
FWIW, i think that's the way to go. I also understood from a discussion with Daniel Holth that this matches his plans. cheers, holger
