Marcus Smith (one of the core pip developers and lead author of
packaging.python.org) has started exploring some ideas around a
possible PyPI build service.
pyospkg is one of the pieces of that:

As Marcus himself says, this is vapourware at the moment, but it
encapsulates a range of ideas that I think are relevant to
Environments & Stacks. In particular, the notion of building for a
particular virtual env may help with tooling UX ideas around building
for particular SCLs.
Regards,
Nick.
