Hi all, I have an idea regarding Python binary wheels on non-glibc platforms, and it seems that initially I've posted it to the wrong list ([1]) Long story short, the proposal is to use platform tuples (like compiler ones) for wheel names, which will allow much broader platform support, for example: package-1.0-cp36-cp36m-amd64_linux_gnu.whl package-1.0-cp36-cp36m-amd64_linux_musl.whl So eventually only {platform tag} part will be modified. Glibc/musl detection is quite trivial and eventually will be based on existing one in PEP 513 [2]. Let me know what you think.
