missing python wheels

[shan]

• portforward version: 0.6.0
• Python version: 3.8
• Operating System: Linux
• Architecture: aarch64

Description

Currently I need to have rust/cargo available locally to install it. It would be nicer if we can have python wheels.

What I Did

pip install portforward
Collecting portforward
  Downloading portforward-0.6.0.tar.gz (35 kB)
  Installing build dependencies ... done
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... done
  Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) ... error

      This package requires Rust and Cargo to compile extensions. Install it through

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.

Closing it since it's mentioned in the README that we need to build it ourselves when unsupported platform/os combination
