Unfortunately yes :-( get_supported() introspects the system you're installing on and builds a list of tag combinations it's willing to accept. In doing so it misses some that I'd consider obscure but reasonable (notably here, independent of Python implementation (py rather than cp) but architecture specific). I consider this a flawed design, but it's always been like this. You'll need to raise a bug report for this. Actually two, as the pep425tags code is in both pip and wheel independently (the one you actually *want* is the pip one, though). I know - this should really be fixed. I'd like to see pep425tags in a separate project, referenced (or vendored if necessary) from both pip and wheel. And I'd like a matching algorithm for checking tags rather than generating a list of valid values. Oh, and a pony :-) > Here it is anyway. There's no "py2" at all: Sorry, from any given Python you'll get either py2 or py3 depending on the major version of your Python.
