Depends on your platform. If you're using ARM (like AWS Graviton, and possibly Apple M1) you might find that many wheels are not available. That might be different now, my information is 2 years old, but I remember 'pip install numpy' taking ages. Every time someone pushed a change we'd have a 15 minute job clogging the pipes. Luckily I had already created an artifact repo (AWS CodeArtifact) for our own internalpackages, so I added a step to our build process to push locally built wheels, so a painfully slow build would only happen once.
