PyPI supports Linux wheels in the form of "manylinux" builds. I don't
think there's any plan to support platform or distribution specific
Linux wheels beyond that. Having said that, I'm sure the Lunux
specialists will be able to give more detail (maybe one of the
manylinux versions handles ppc64le?)
