That’s why you should use a build server and not ship build environments. > I've had to do all sorts of tedious things with containers where I spin up a > temporary container to build a bunch of .whl files, then actually install > them in the final container - all to avoid bloating the container image with > the build tools. I don’t see how that’s tedious since a compute does that for me. Although I don’t see any value at wheeling them (and some packages cannot be wheeled); my CI builds a venv and puts it into a container. There’s nothing tedious about it at all. > It's a real shame that binary wheels on Linux/PyPI aren't a thing.
