i.e. some packages are compiled during installation?
Realized I didn't answer this directly. Yes, sometimes, depending on
your platform or your python version or how new the python package is,
it may not have a binary distribution available and will require
compilation.
This comes up for Python 3.10 dependencies right now in particular. They
do not have binary distributions because (I assume) 3.10 isn't finalized
yet, so they haven't done a re-build. Or something like that.
