Ice 3.6.2.1 PyPi distribution wheel/build requirements

I have a couple questions about the current PyPi distribution:
I was hoping to see wheels for linux, is there a reason you don't supply those?
The main question: Since there isn't a wheel for linux (I'm using Ubuntu 16.04), and
pip install zeroc-ice
builds from source, is there a list of dependency requirements or build instructions? I keep having to attempt to build the package to wait for the next error to know what I have to install next (openssl, libbz2-dev, python3-dev, etc.)
Thanks for your time.

There isn't a good solution for building binary wheels that works across linux distros, source pip seems more appropriate for this case.

libbz2-dev libssl-dev python-dev or python3-dev
We will improve the docs to mention those requirements
