Historically I have had the setup.py simply not include any Python code when built on versions of Python that include importlib in the stdlib itself: https://github.com/brettcannon/importlib/blob/master/setup.py <https://github.com/brettcannon/importlib/blob/master/setup.py> .

If your setup.py produces different output on different versions of Python, you’ll need multiple wheels.
