That's not unreasonable, as long as they don't contain executables.

With the current version of distil, built wheels don't contain executables
for scripts. The executable launchers are determined / written at wheel
installation time. While distlib currently uses bespoke launchers, I plan to
update it before the next release to use the PEP 397 launcher compiled with
SCRIPT_WRAPPER.
