Python Wheels
Ron L’Esteve · Apress eBooks · 2022
The process of packaging, sharing, and distributing Python code across teams and developers within an organization can become a complex task. There are a few methods of packaging and distributing Python code including eggs, jars, wheels, and more. In this chapter, you will learn more about ideal methods for creating a Python wheel file to package and distribute custom code. A Python .whl file is a type of built distribution that tells installers what Python versions and platforms the wheel will support. The wheel comes in a ready-to-install format which allows users to bypass the build stage required with source distributions.
