Creating wheels and bundles

pip wheel allows the developer to bundle all project dependencies, along with any compiled files, into a single archive file. This is useful for installing when index servers aren't available, and eliminates recompiling code. However, recognize that compiled packages are normally OS- and architecture-specific, as they are normally C code, meaning they are generally not portable across different systems without recompiling. This is also a good use of hash-checking to ensure future wheels are built with identical packages.
