chore: drop universal wheel

[henryiii]

Pre-commit does not support Python 2 anymore (python_requires = >=3.6.1), so it does not need universal wheels activated, which produce py3.py2 in the wheel name instead of py3.

You can see the "Universal" naming here: https://pypi.org/project/pre-commit/#files

[asottile]

there's a dupe somewhere -- universal just means "pure python"

general word of advice: don't touch infrastructure or tooling for a project you don't maintain unless prompted by an issue asking explicitly to do so

[henryiii]

No it does not. See pypa/setuptools#1974 when Setuptools 45.1 dropped universal=True from setuptools itself pypa/setuptools#1978. Setuptools can tell if a project is pure Python; the universal=1 added py2.py3 tag.

If I see something explicitly wrong, I generally immediately make a PR. I looked for a dupe PR, but not a dupe Issue.

[henryiii]

I do not see an Issue discussing this either.

[henryiii]

Though I probably should have opened an issue, since you might have tooling somewhere else where this needs to be updated instead or added as a feature to setup-cfg-fmt or something. :)

You will also notice that after setuptools 45 dropped Python 2 support all mention of the universal setting was excised from the documentation. If you don't have an Extension, it's pure Python, if you do, it's not. Universal was there just to activate Python 2 + Python 3 support, since it couldn't tell that without help (it predates python_requires).

The wheel documentation describes 'universal' as 'Python 2/3 compatible, pure Python' (https://github.com/pypa/wheel/blob/2e90eef2e52dab03cff1f71bcb8931ce141e320d/docs/quickstart.rst), the news entry from 2012 introducing 'universal' says, 'universal=1 will apply the py2.py3-none-any tag for pure python wheels' (https://github.com/pypa/wheel/blob/a6fa4839ba1c74a37cb43eefb959c0766594ec63/docs/news.rst) and the only thing the 'universal' tests actually test is that only one wheel is produced with the 'py2.py3' compatibility tag (https://github.com/pypa/wheel/blob/2e90eef2e52dab03cff1f71bcb8931ce141e320d/tests/test_tagopt.py#L86).

I also don't see how this apparent hostility is at all warranted against a contribution made in good faith.

[asottile]

no hostility, just the crusade to remove this flag is not correct and I closed this change because it is not welcome here
