This still works for me:

But I haven’t tested today’s version yet.
> You can't use wheels
musl wheel support was added some time ago:
https://github.com/pypa/packaging/releases/tag/21.0
No idea how many packages actually build musl wheels though. From a quick glance at least cryptography and lxml has musl wheels.
I did know this, but it wasn't 100% reliable, see https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/18150
Regarding the "runs just fine", this is not guaranteed. I certainly do check if it is working, and if it is, and it is a small service or just a containerized tool, then I'll use it. Like using GDAL to perform some reprojections and renderings where a throwaway container is called from a shell script, if it works once, I'll keep using it, but I won't use it to run a Python server which also makes use of Matplotlib and other big dependencies.
