Realized I didn't answer this directly. Yes, sometimes, depending on 
your platform or your python version or how new the python package is, 
it may not have a binary distribution available and will require 
compilation.

This comes up for Python 3.10 dependencies right now in particular. They 
do not have binary distributions because (I assume) 3.10 isn't finalized 
yet, so they haven't done a re-build. Or something like that.
