For those like me who have no idea what "wheels" is in this context, I think it is referring to https://github.com/pypa/wheel
This looks like some sort of binary Python packaging thingy. I think @dkarp is saying that there exists pre-existing binary builds for glibc for many things, but not for musl libc so they are forced to be built explicitly when using pip to manage Python dependencies.
I could not figure out where this repository of binary packages is or who maintains it. Any corrections would be appreciated.
