Maybe there could be a way to say "the most recent release that has a wheel for my platform". That would help with the problem of binaries not being available concurrently with a new source distribution.
I don't get what you want to say. If you are maintainer, then there is no "my platform". There is matrix: python_versions x supported_platforms If you have optional dependencies this matrix gets a third dimension :-) Tell me if I speak none sense, but AFAIK there are two ways to to build for other platforms: 1. Cross compiling: you create code for platform B an platform A. 2. VM: create code for platform B on platform A by running a VM of platform B. I guess taking the second way is easier - but slower. Before coding a single line I would check what already exists (outside the "python world") What do you think? Please tell me what's wrong with above text.
