02/24/2023, 12:53 AMQuestion about provider/Python wheels: I'm using pipenv to install some dependencies... I noticed the slowest part when installing a venv is the grpcio wheel and other pulumi provider wheels... at least on my m1 mac.. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this, if this is normal, since there might be no published wheels for grpcio and the providers depend on it?

02/24/2023, 1:01 AMI remember pip had an issue with the M1 architecture when it was released which didn't allow for the use of pre-compiled packages, not sure if it was ever addressed...
I remember reading a couple of PEPs at the time, but didn't follow up later...

Do you have wheel installed in your global environment? It’s way quicker if you do

Not in the venv, it needs to be on your global python path
