Yes, that would certainly help get over some of the immediate problems. Sorry for my ignorance - but does ``--only-binary`` search for an earlier release with a binary or just bomb out if the latest release does not have a binary? It would also be good to have a flag to say "if this is pure Python go ahead and use the source, otherwise error". Otherwise I guess we'd have to rely on everyone with a pure Python package generating wheels. It would be very good to work out a plan for new Python releases as well. We really need to get wheels up to pypi a fair while before the release date, and it's easy to forget to do that, because, at the moment, we don't have much testing infrastructure to make sure that a range of wheel installs are working OK.
