So a package author creates a package that only works with Python 3, builds a sdist using a tool-specific option that states this, and that data isn't recorded in the sdist so that whoever uses the sdist to build a wheel has to find that out elsewhere and re-specify it to build a wheel? That sounds wrong, unless I'm misunderstanding you... Paul
