A built-package format for Python
This library is the reference implementation of the Python wheel packaging
standard, as defined in PEP 427
_.
It has two different roles:
#. A setuptools_ extension for building wheels that provides the
bdist_wheel
setuptools command
#. A command line tool for working with wheel files
It should be noted that wheel is not intended to be used as a library, and as such there is no stable, public API.

The documentation_ can be found on Read The Docs.

Everyone interacting in the wheel project's codebases, issue trackers, chat
rooms, and mailing lists is expected to follow the PSF Code of Conduct
