The neat thing about wheel is that you can install them without having the software used to build them. So we might try to provide a very simple wheel installer script with Python that did not even depend on DistUtils. You would be able to install pip etc with that tool. There is no need to put wheel directly into DistUtils.

But you still need to produce wheels, don't you? It would be more useful for everyone if that facility was bundled with Python.

Antoine.
