Description
I tried using bmipy for a teachbooks BMI "toybox". However, micropip can only install packages with pure python wheels, but only the source tarball is available for bmipy.
Apart from enabling easy installation in WASM Python, having wheels available has more benefits:
- Faster installation for pure Python packages.

- Allows better caching for testing and continuous integration.
- Creates .pyc files as part of installation to ensure they match the Python interpreter used.
- More consistent installs across platforms and machines.
