Wheel support

Right now, only the tar.gz file is being distributed on PyPI for applicationinsights, which isn't that much of an issue, but it does add some time to installing the package.

This package should be compatible with the Wheel format, considering it doesn't appear to have any C dependencies and it is compatible with both Python 2 and 3. As a result, you should only need to generate a universal wheel and then everyone (on all systems) will get the ability to install applicationinsights with just the wheel, without having to do any extra work.

Interesting. It looks like this repo should already be supporting Wheel from the existance of this file: https://github.com/Microsoft/ApplicationInsights-Python/blob/master/setup.cfg

If my understanding is correct

It should, yes.

The problem is that the wheels are not being built, so they aren't being sent up to PyPI. I just noticed that this appears to be automatic, using Travis CI, so only a small change is needed. You just need to tell Travis to build the wheels.
