FreeIPA git is now using setuptools for packaging. We have most pieces in place to make ipaclient, ipalib, ipaplatform and ipapython pip install-able. With just some small additions and changes we can turn FreeIPA's client packages into proper Python wheel packages. Wheels can be easily installed in virtual envs or containers. Binary wheels with dependencies to shared libraries can be build on one machine, then simply copied and installed on a compatible machine.
Make setup.py files PyPI compatible https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/197
Add Python package requirements to setup.py files https://github.com/tiran/freeipa/commits/python_requirements
Make ipaplatform's platform selection a runtime decision https://github.com/tiran/freeipa/commits/ipaplatform_detect
Document build time and runtime dependencies (header files, shared libraries, external commands)
The wheel packages won't support client enrolment. They have just enough features to run commands like and to use the FreeIPA's Python API like the RPC client.

master:
This commit adds dependency on python-wheel package, which is missing on RHEL/CentOS, therefore IPA can't be built there. Would it be possible to make python-wheel package optional (it would be nice to use new build system and its configure options for disabling)? The traceback is attached:

I agree with pvomacka. It should be handled as all other non-critical depedencies which are missing in RHEL: By --disable-switch which disables the optional feature.
I have addressed the wheel dependency in https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/255. The PR is in review.
Is everything implemented? I.e., is this ticket fixed?
