Alas, wheels are terrible for providing anything but a Python API. If you have headers, compiled tools, or some other complicated SDK, good luck (NumPy is excepted here because it only ships headers this way and chooses to live with wheel limitations). Wheels depending on you also ship copies of your library (if you use PyPI), so the lackluster dependency management is just waiting to mix things up and give your users "fun" linker/runtime issues.
