Description
Where I work would like us developers to use the stricter installation protocol of only using wheels, they don't have to run arbitrary code on installation.
I can't do a PR because it doesn't look like you checked in the code to run python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

Research direction
Start by inspecting setup.py and the existing source-distribution configuration. Check how the project currently runs python setup.py sdist and bdist_wheel, then make the wheel publish alongside the sdist. Done means users can obtain and install a wheel through the project’s release process.
