If you want wheel to be successful, **provide a build server**.
Quoting the author of psutil:

{{{
On Linux / Unix the only way you have to install psutil right now is via source / tarball. I don't want to provide
wheels for Linux (or other UNIX platforms). I would have to cover all supported python versions (7) both 32 and 64 bits,
meaning 14 extra packages to compile and upload on PYPI on every release. I do that for Windows because installing VS is
an order of magnitude more difficult than installing gcc on Linux/UNIX but again: not willing to do extra work on that
front (sorry).
What you could do is create a wheel yourself with python setup.py build bdist_wheel by using the same python/arch
version you have on the server, upload it on the server and install it with pip.

What do you think?
