wheels are only useful for Pypi uploads as far as they allow uploads of difficult builds, like Win32 compilations. wheels are unbelievably critical in that they allow super easy caching of pre-built packages on any given host. If you've noticed these days you can type "pip install numpy" at will and it seems to usually run in less than two seconds rather than 5 minutes, thank wheels. This is particularly a big deal if you work lot with CI.
