Currently, the package is released as a source distribution which requires users to build C-extensions locally on their machine. We could also provide wheels e.g. via cibuildwheel so that users on major platforms don't need to build anything locally.
The biggest question here is: how big of a blocker/hassle is the building for most users?

I can find at least one github issue (vanvalenlab/deepcell-tf#617) and one personal email thread where the building the extension blocked installation. Personally I ran into this issue recently when building a docker container from a new base image. It was easy to resolve by installing additional compilers, but I think it's tricky for the average biologist user to debug.
If it's easy to add wheels, I think it would be worthwhile.
