<h2 dir="auto">Summary</h2>
<p dir="auto">Installing numpy on aarch64 via pip using command "pip3 install numpy" tries to build wheel from source code</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Problem description</h2>
<p dir="auto">Numpy don't have wheel for aarch64 on PyPI repository. So, while installing numpy via pip on aarch64, pip builds wheel for same resulting in it takes more time to install numpy. Making wheel available for aarch64 will benefit aarch64 users by minimizing numpy installation time.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Expected Output</h2>
<p dir="auto">Pip should be able to download numpy wheel from PyPI repository rather than building it from source code.</p>
<p dir="auto">@numpy-team, please let me know if I can help you building wheel/uploading to PyPI repository. I am curious to make numpy wheel available for aarch64. It will be a great opportunity for me to work with you.</p>
<p dir="auto">Manylinux2014 got released with support for wider selection of architectures: aarch64, arm32, ppc64le, s390x. Are there plans to use it for releasing wheels for other architectures than x86-64/i686?</p>
<p dir="auto">Would cut "pip install numpy" times A LOT of aarch64 platform.</p>
