This is the core of one of the "new build system" tools--hosted
officially as part of the pypa (Python Packaging Authority)
repositories--it is an increasingly common build tool (e.g.
typing_extensions and tomli) as declared in pyproject.toml for
said packages.
This package provides a very simple bootstrapping method that builds
the source tarball (build_sdist) and a wheel (build_wheel).
Bootstrap -native by simply unzipping the wheel to
PYTHON_SITEPACKAGES_DIR.
Use pip to install the wheel for class-target.
Wheels are the official vehicle for delivering Python packages now.
Eggs (egg-info) are deprecated and will increasingly go away.
