It’s not that unheard of, for example the flit_core bootstrap documentation
says to use it:

https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bootstrap.html

It also does one job and just one job, which is A Very Good Thing.

Do you mean Pip here? That’s one option.  Installing a wheel is a glorified
unzip, pip brings a lot of baggage that we don’t care about.

I should make it clear that this class is not for installing arbitrary
wheels, it installs a wheel we just built and in the future will build the
wheel too.

If one would want to have that kind of tooling the switch from pure

Adding support for build is next on the list.
