Wheels are a binary format from an upstream point of view. I certainly wouldn't consider them a suitable input format for an SRPM. The Python world has 3 source distribution formats: - - raw tarball - - VCS checkout - - sdist The difference between an sdist and a raw tarball is that the sdist may be a filtered version of what's in the source repo. This may happen if the repo contains additional files that aren't needed to build and install the distribution. If an archive has a PKG-INFO file at the root, it's likely an sdist, if it doesn't, it's likely a raw tarball.
