In order to generate a pip wheel of sagemaker-training repository [https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-training-toolkit.git]
I ran
python setup.py bdist_wheel
It results in creation of python 37 compatible wheel
ls dist/
sagemaker_training-3.6.3.dev0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl
I checked the setup.py; it doesn't specifically mention py37.
Is there a way to create a binary [pip wheel] that's compatible with python36?
Because py36 can't consume py37 wheel
RUN pip3 install sagemaker_training-3.6.3.dev0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl

ERROR: sagemaker_training-3.6.3.dev0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
This is because the wheel is compatible with the invoking Python interpreter, that is, you're probably have installed Python 3.7, you can quickly verify this by running which python.
Consider pyenv, as example I'll be using python 3.6.1
pyenv install 3.6.1
you could verify the installation by running
ls ~/.pyenv/versions/
and set the installed version as global or local (for the purposes of this example I'll be setting it as global).
pyenv global 3.6.1
if you want you could verify this with
python -V
Finally, you can create a wheel compatible with Python3.6.
python setup.py bdist_wheel
