# Wheel platform checking

# Note: defining new platform ABI compatibility tags that don't
# have a python.org binary release to anchor them is a
# complex task that needs more than just OS+architecture info.
# For Linux specifically, the platform ABI is defined by each
# individual distro version, so wheels built on one version may
# not even work on older versions of the same distro, let alone
# a completely different distro.
#
# That means new entries should only be added given an
# accompanying ABI spec that explains how to build a
# compatible binary (see the manylinux specs as examples).

# These platforms can be handled by a simple static list:
