Sorry, my mistake. I didn't see how this part related (and still don't). What are wheels and sdists if they are not not "release artifacts"? Are we just quibbling about the what term "release artifact" means? If so, I'll revert to using "wheels and sdists" as I did in my repsonse. I thought it was obvious that wheels and sdists *are* the release artifacts in the process of producing Python packages. It doesn't matter where they are released *to*, it can be to PyPI, or a local server, or just to a wheelhouse or other directory on your PC that you keep for personal use only. Once they are created by you as anything other than a temporary file in a multi-step install process they are "release artifacts" as I understand/mean the term. But terminology's not a big deal, as long as we understand each other.
