As a Linux Python dev, even if I've sort of learned what "manylinux" means (not least of all from following these discussions :p), I would much prefer the "linux_glibc_2_12_x86_64" style tag. It's nice and explicit and conveys some info, and sort of follows the same style as the macOS ones. Just my 2 cents. Elvis > > I'm not sure what to think about the "2" part of the glibc version.
