Both from Armin Ronacher at Sentry. About Milksnake:

Milksnake helps you compile and ship shared libraries that do not link against libpython either directly or indirectly. This means it generates a very specific type of Python wheel. Since the extension modules do not link against libpython they are completely Python version or implementation independent. The same wheel works for Python 2.7, 3.6 or PyPy. As such if you use milksnake you only need to build one wheel per platform and CPU architecture.

Yeah, Milksnake is mentioned in the article :)
Doh, completely missed that reading the article on my phone.
