I'm not sure how this would work - wheels don't seem to me to be appropriate for installing "external dependencies", but as I'm not 100% clear on what you mean by that term I may be misunderstanding. Can you provide a concrete example?
If you put stuff in the "data" scheme dir, it allows you to install files anywhere you like relative to the installation root. That means you can already use the wheel format to distribute arbitrary files, you may just have to build it via some mechanism other than bdist_wheel.
Ah, OK. I see. Paul
