a wheel name can be broken down like this: {dist}-{version}(-{build})?-{python}-{abi}-{platform}.whl
wheel installation is much faster than source code installation(python -m pip install -e .)
you can try to download from pypi the binary(whl) or source code zip to check the installation speed #python -m pip download –only-binary :all: –dest . –no-cache six
build wheel
-
first install wheel and setuptools
python -m pip install -U wheel setuptools -
build python distribution (source distribution (sdist) and wheel (bdist_wheel))
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel #Specifying a Universal Wheel(py2 and py3 compitable whl) python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal #or in setup.py from setuptools import setup setup( # .... options={"bdist_wheel": {"universal": True}} # .... ) -
build manylinux wheel
PyPA provides a set of Docker images for many linux environments -
Bundling Shared Libraries
auditwheel will bundle external libraries into an already-built wheel. auditwheel is present on the manylinux Docker images;
delocate does the same on macOS.$ auditwheel repair <path-to-wheel.whl> # For manylinux $ delocate-wheel <path-to-wheel.whl> # For macOS -
checking wheel
#check-wheel-contents $ check-wheel-contents dist/*.whl dist/ujson-2.0.3-cp38-cp38-macosx_10_15_x86_64.whl: OK #TestPyPI. $ python -m twine upload \ --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ \ dist/* $ python -m pip install \ --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ \ <pkg-name> -
publishing wheel
$ python -m pip install -U twine $ python -m twine upload dist/*
