Quick summary: re: manylinix1 approach: read several docs and checked
CPython - please tell me if/where I am missing something.
* I do not have a Linux system to look at separately, maybe I must look
for a system (I can trash by accident)
* the manylinux support is external to CPython (Lib/distutils)
* how does pip/dist-utils interpet the "label" that is applied to a package
* is the label applied by the CPython distutils package, or is that
package "overwritten" by the distutils part of pip?
This concerns whether I would need to write a PR for CPython, or for
distutils (aka, who is the 'owner' of distutils
I suppose there is more - but I hope to get some level of
synchronization before getting too far along.
Thanks for your assistance!
