Description

When I install the extractcode-7z package on macOS with an arm64 Python 3.12 (Apple Silicon), the installation fails with strict tools like uv because no arm64-compatible wheel is published on PyPI.

Only an x86_64 version seems to be available, which prevents native installation on recent Macs (M1/M2/M3).

Would it be possible to also publish a universal wheel (universal2) or an arm64-specific wheel on PyPI?

This would allow:
- Immediate compatibility with pip in native mode on Apple Silicon.
- Compatibility with uv, which only supports the installation of precompiled wheels.

The message I've got during a failing installation:
```
hint: Wheels are available for extractcode-7z (v16.5.210531) on the following platforms: manylinux1_x86_64, macosx_10_14_x86_64, win_amd64
```

The command used for installation:
```
$ uv pip install extractcode
```

Thank you very much for your work and for the attention paid to the portability of the package.
