pypi wheels for less than 2_39?

[hpcpony]

Problem Statement

I don't have root, so the install.sh script doesn't do me much good for a "user" install. I tried using the documented 'uv tool install openshell' method but:

uv tool install openshell
  × No solution found when resolving dependencies:
  ╰─▶ Because all versions of openshell have no wheels with a matching platform tag (e.g.,
      `manylinux_2_34_x86_64`) and you require openshell, we can conclude that your requirements
      are unsatisfiable.

      hint: Pre-releases are available for `openshell` in the requested range (e.g., 0.0.0a0),
      but pre-releases weren't enabled (try: `--prerelease=allow`)

      hint: Wheels are available for `openshell` (v0.0.99) on the following platforms:
      `manylinux_2_39_aarch64`, `manylinux_2_39_x86_64`, `macosx_13_0_arm64`

Proposed Design

I saw there was discussion elsewhere about making the wheels more inclusive for older glibc release. Is there a plan to extend this to the PyPi wheels? I'd be content with 2_34, i.e. RHEL 9.

Alternatives Considered

Download an hack the install.sh to download but not install the RPMs. Unpack the RPMs and put the results somewhere as an 'install'.
