By devel resources you mean pkg-config files right? In that case it's expected. You should use meson if you want those.

There is no way where we could put .pc files in a Python package where pkg-config would pick it up. Also .pc files contain absolute paths which depend on the install prefix and wheels are install prefix agnostic, so there is no way to generate a valid .pc file even if we could include it.
