Oh, I see what you're thinking.
I explicitly *don't* want to get into general packaging issues - they
are covered elsewhere. The point here is that if you have the right
compiler set up, you can read any generic packaging instructions and
it doesn't matter whether there's C code involved. That's it.
But yes, "python setup.py bdist_wheel" is how you build a wheel for
upload. That's true whether your project includes C extensions or not.
I'm also not expecting to explain to people how to build any
dependencies (for example, PyYAML depends on the C compiler being able
to find libyaml). That *is* harder on Windows than on Linux, because
there's no "system location" equivalent to /usr/local/include and
/usr/local/lib. But again, I consider this to be outside the scope of
the document, because it's specific to the particular project you're
building.
