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

As Donald notes, twine can handle the upload, and devpi (unlike the public
PyPI) will happily host Linux wheel files.

The main trap to watch out for when using that approach in the current
system is that the wheel filenames won't say which Linux distro they were
built against, so you may get cryptic runtime errors if they escape the
intended environments.

Cheers,
Nick.
