Description
Original Pulp Redmine Issue: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/6838
The pip install test uses only the sdist (.tar.gz) package type when checking that it can install 'shelf-reader'. However, the repository has an additional wheel (.whl) version that could be installed from but isn't checked.
Currently the default behavior for pip install (Verision 20.1.1 on Python 3.7) seems to use the sdist type if the package 'wheel' is not installed (see pip install message below). Checking the pip forums the discussion on the workings of pip install seem to be ongoing and could be subject to change.
When documentation is available for the workings of pip install the pip install test should be expanded to test installing from different package types.
