[IDEA]: host a pip repo

[T-Dynamos]

What do you think about this idea: creating a community-driven pip repository where we can access prebuilt binaries in .whl files tailored to specific architectures. This could significantly reduce build times and make it easier to use packages that demand a lot of CPU and RAM resources (like numpy, cryptography etc...). To handle the compilation, we could use a Termux Docker image within GitHub Actions.

I have tried this to do once, I tried to install a .whl file which was built using termux, But pip was not accepting it, (pip takes x86 arch but binary was arm64). I think that could be fixed with providing some arguments to pip?

EDIT: To install a .whl I had to do some patching to https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/4d50d7d883bb6313f37c22402ecfaefa689bbbed/pythonforandroid/build.py#L652

Great idea IMHO.
Would it allow to install new libraries from within an apk-installed python under Android?
