Publish a wheel, as well as a source distribution

In python, all package installation is from wheel. So if maintainers do not publish wheels, then every user install must start by building a wheel.

That has a few minor disadvantages: it is slower, it is a thing that can go wrong, security-conscious users will want to avoid code execution at install time...

Best practice is to publish both sdist and wheel
