You can't depend on shared libraries outside the wheel, but you can include the library inside the wheel. The applications all expect the shared library they depend on to be in a path relative the location of the application, which prevents putting the shared library in a separate package anyway. So how would you handle this situation with wheels if you don't have the option of forcing users into a specific python distribution?
