For people who are confused by this:

"Wheel has an official standard specification. Egg did not. Wheel is a distribution format, i.e a packaging format. 1 Egg was both a distribution format and a runtime installation format (if left zipped), and was designed to be importable.

Wheel archives do not include .pyc files." [1]

The other type of package format from Wheel. I agree it's not very clear.
