So, that is what I hope can happen around this PR for CPython: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/15678 With this PR AIX packaging by pip and wheel work fine with devpi (as a test repository), unpacking wheels into virtual environments. So, what would be needed is a modification in the code that can search for wheel candidates - greater/equal to the "build_tag" of the CPython executable.
