No.

The name comes from the Python file format (whl) that is used as base
for the pkgsrc binary package.

There are many different tools that can be used for creating such whl
files. setuptools + wheel is a common one, but there are at about a
dozen of them, and many of them don't need py-wheel.

Not if you install the dependencies from binary packages.

I'm pretty sure you let it install the dependencies and didn't clean
up, so the tool dependencies of one of the package's dependencies were
still installed, which is why it worked for you.
