Eh no, in-place has nothing to do with building a wheel. Several people have already pointed this out, you're mixing unrelated concepts and that's likely due to you using a definition for in-place/out-of-place that's nonstandard. It would be helpful if you either defined your terminology or (better) just dropped in-place/out-of-place and replaced it with for example "an empty tmpdir" vs. "a default directory which may contain build artifacts from previous builds" vs. <fill in however you like>. Note that distutils behavior adds to the confusion here: `build_ext --inplace` is actually an out-of-place build where the final extension modules are copied back into the source tree (but not any intermediate artifacts).
