When thinking about supporting a platform, it seems reasonable to consider other sources for pre-compiled binaries, e.g., conda and especially conda-forge. Conda-forge has
linux-ppc64le v1.7.0
linux-64 v1.7.0
linux-aarch64 v1.7.0
osx-arm64 v1.7.0
osx-64 v1.7.0
win-32 v1.2.1
win-64 v1.7.0
If this list included PyPy that it would be virtually complete.
Conda-forge supports PyPy, and the NumPy build seems to have a problem but that's being worked on at the moment: https://github.com/conda-forge/numpy-feedstock/pull/238 Cheers, Ralf
It seems reasonable to direct users to conda-forge if they are unable to build a package for a less common platform.
Building on conda-forge is often easier than building a wheel for PyPI due to the substantial infrastructure that the conda-forge team provides to automatically wire up CI for a lot of platforms.
