So this is in PEP uh, 426 I think. It’s not final yet but it kinda works right 
now for Wheels.

Basically you do a conditional include to install_requires in your setup.py, 
and then if
you’re creating wheels you do something like -> 
https://github.com/dstufft/twine/blob/master/setup.cfg#L9-L13

That will overwrite install_requires, but only for Wheels.
