It'd be more accurate to say that it doesn't support automatic generation
of wheels - how would it know what to generate?

The wheels must be created by a build system. The devpi client has support
for building and uploading wheels, and devpi is designed to support having
locally-built wheels supplement existing packages. I'd be happy to
elaborate.
