The wheel bundler runs setup.py on the bundler's machine, and then archive the result with static lists of dependencies. pip doesn't run setup.py at all when it installs a wheel (the .whl archive doesn't even contain that file); all it does is unarchive and copy the files.
Dynamic requirement resolution wouldn't work unless pip offers a mechanism for runtime hooks during installation, which doesn't seem to be on PyPA's roadmap. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
