to be clear, the pip fork's main interest in building wheels (with it's
"pip wheel") is to make it easy to generate all the wheels needed to
underlie a requirements file install.

"pip wheel -r requirements.txt"

this will generate wheels for all your requirements and dependencies.

this command is for the here and now until wheels are pervasive on pypi.

P.S. I see your script takes multiple arguments, but does it process
dependencies?
