[Distutils] Can I upload a binary wheel to a local devpi on Linux using pip? Do I need setup.py?

[Dan Stromberg]

Is it possible to use "pip wheel" to upload a binary wheel on Linux,
to a local devpi server? Or do I need to get to a setup.py and do an
upload from there? It seems a shame to build the wheel without need of
a setup.py (I believe setup.py is only used behind the scenes), only
to need a setup.py to upload the result.

This makes me wonder about devpi and binary wheels on Linux:

C extensions
PyPI currently only allows uploading platform-specific wheels for
Windows and Mac OS X. It is still useful to create wheels for these
platforms, as it avoids the need for your users to compile the package
when installing.

I'm doing "pip -v -v -v wheel numpy" (for example), and I have a
pip.conf and .pypirc (both pointing at our local devpi).

Thanks!
