Limitations

No data

Data (install_data) is not supported by the wheel standard. Project should install data as Python source instead (Python source does not have to be only Python files!) and use importlib.resources (or the importlib_resources backport) to access the data. If you really need the data to be installed where it was previously (eg. /usr/data), you can do so at runtime.
