Shared cache for Python wheels
Metadata
Current evaluation
Port Charmcraft's shared Python-wheel cache to Snapcraft to avoid repeated downloads and rebuilds; it remains open, unlabelled, and awaiting maintainer triage.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, and its only comment is an automated Jira-sync message for CRAFT-3230 rather than maintainer assessment. The goal is clear, but cache location, lifecycle, compatibility, and acceptance criteria are unspecified, and repository history showed no resolving commit.
