Does matching really happen that way?
Unfortunately yes :-(
get_supported() introspects the system you're installing on and builds a list of tag combinations it's willing to accept. In doing so it misses some that I'd consider obscure but reasonable (notably here, independent of Python implementation (py rather than cp) but architecture specific). I consider this a flawed design, but it's always been like this.
You'll need to raise a bug report for this. Actually two, as the pep425tags code is in both pip and wheel independently (the one you actually *want* is the pip one, though).
Apparently already reported to pip :-) https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1870 Reported to wheel at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/wheel/issue/125/get_supported-should-return-more Thanks for the explanations. Regards Antoine.
