Wheel is a reference to the other Python
python, python-wheel
Solution
`.egg` is a reference to the snake variety of python, `.whl` is a reference to Monty Python's "wheel of cheese"
Problem
PEP 427 describes the move to .whl files from .egg for Python packaging. In the comparisons section of the PEP, there is point 6: Wheel is a reference to the other Python. I don't understand this point, what are they trying to say?
