That makes me wonder if we shouldn't just provide pure Python wheels of Cython, i.e. without compiling any binary extensions in them. For one-time installs, it would only be marginally slower than with a compiled Cython, but it would work on all platforms with all Python versions. I guess the drawback would be that it would be more hassle for people who really want to install Cython permanently for themselves... Is there a way to tag a wheel somehow as "special"? I doubt that Nick&friends thought about the special Cython installation use case when designing the format...
