I think so, yes.

You might find more info in one of those:

- [https://pypackaging-native.github.io/](https://pypackaging-native.github.io/)
- [https://discuss.python.org/t/what-to-do-about-gpus-and-the-built-distributions-that-support-them/7125/64](https://discuss.python.org/t/what-to-do-about-gpus-and-the-built-distributions-that-support-them/7125/64)
- and a bunch of other threads in #Packaging

I wish I had a more concise reference to offer, but I don’t. 😕
