You're on Linux (`linux_aarch64`), but `swat` (v1.15.0) only has wheels for the following platforms: `manylinux1_x86_64`, `manylinux2014_ppc64le`, `macosx_10_9_x86_64`, `macosx_11_0_arm64`, `win_amd64`

Hi, I'm building a docker image to be run on a k8s cluster, and swat seems to be missing a lot of wheels for different platforms:

1.898 error: Distribution `swat==1.15.0 @ registry+https://pypi.org/simple` can't be installed because it doesn't have a source distribution or wheel for the current platform
1.898 
1.898 hint: You're on Linux (`linux_aarch64`), but `swat` (v1.15.0) only has wheels for the following platforms: `manylinux1_x86_64`, `manylinux2014_ppc64le`, `macosx_10_9_x86_64`, `macosx_11_0_arm64`, `win_amd64`

Do you think is possible to build more wheels for other platforms? Why is not supported?!

Unfortunately there are no plans at this time to add support for more architectures.

The "platform-specific" portion of the python-swat client is in the binary code, so if a rest-only implementation would be ok for you, as a possible work-around you could try installing the python-swat-1.15.0+REST-only-linux-ppc64le.tar.gz file from the releases section to see if that would work on your docker image. There's no architecture specific code in there, just the python code, with the rest "placeholder" files in the swat/lib/linux directory instead of the (platform specific) binary swat code. I don't have access to a machine with aarch64 to try this on, but I was able to get it to work on a machine that would ordinarily take the manylinux1_x86_64 install.
