So hi again. I've found a solution for my wheel distribution issue but it is, to put it generously, a pretty ugly hack. 😛 I was wondering if there was a way to force a PEX distribution to bundle a dependency as source rather than a wheel? I had a look at
resolves_to_no_binary
but that doesn't seem to do what I want, which is for the dependency to be compiled on the prod system at runtime, rather than being pre-built

Yeah, you can’t bundle an sdist to be built at runtime. But I suppose you could find a way to capture the sources and embed as-if they were first party sources?

Yeah I do have a workaround for the problem, was just wondering if there was an easy solution I missed. Thankfully this will only be a problem for us temporarily I hope 🙂
