The approach doesn't exclude the possibility of a source distribution, it's only a few weeks old. I would suggest that if you have to choose between having a setup.py, not having a setup.py, and not having the package on pypi at all because the packager can't figure out setup.py, prefer the second option.

I was wondering when someone would attempt this. Simple .ini file and some conventions, and you have a pip-installable wheel. No bdist_wheel, setup.py, MANIFEST or setuptools involved. I like it. Still alpha/beta.

Wheels without sdists are likely a generally bad idea, downstream redistributors are not going to like them.
