[Python-Dev] BDFL delegation for PEP 426 (PyPI metadata 1.3)

it also offers "pip wheel" for building wheels (using bdist_wheel) locally
for your requirements, since wheels wouldn't be pervasive on PyPI for a
while

so, let's say you have a large app that has a requirements file, that
ultimately installs  90 packages.

run:  pip wheel --wheel-dir=/my_wheels -r requirements.txt

this will produce 90 wheel archives in a local directory, that you can then
install against.
