Description

Build Wheel archives for your requirements and dependencies.

Wheel is a built-package format, and offers the advantage of not recompiling your software during every install. For more details, see the wheel docs: http://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest.

Requirements: setuptools>=0.8, and wheel.

‘pip wheel’ uses the bdist_wheel setuptools extension from the wheel package to build individual wheels.

Options

-w,--wheel-dir<dir>

1. Build wheels for a requirement (and all its dependencies), and then install

$ pip wheel --wheel-dir=/tmp/wheelhouse SomePackage
$ pip install --no-index --find-links=/tmp/wheelhouse SomePackage
