Research direction

Start by inspecting setup.cfg for the [bdist_wheel] universal = 1 setting and trace where Python-version changes are handled. No source entry point or test file is named in the issue. Done means the setting is removed when all Python 2 support is dropped, while unrelated configurations remain unchanged.
