wheel

Fix keygen

Preserve attributes on install.

Include a copy of pkg_resources. Wheel can now install into a virtualenv that does not have distribute (though most packages still require pkg_resources to actually work; wheel install distribute)

Define a new setup.cfg section [wheel]. universal=1 will apply the py2.py3-none-any tag for pure python wheels.

Only import dirspec when needed. dirspec is only needed to find the configuration for keygen/signing operations.

requires-dist from setup.cfg overwrites any requirements from setup.py Care must be taken that the requirements are the same in both cases, or just always install from wheel.

drop dirspec requirement on win32

improved command line utility, adds ‘wheel convert [egg or wininst]’ to convert legacy binary formats to wheel

Wheel’s own wheel file can be executed by Python, and can install itself: python wheel-0.9.5-py27-none-any/wheel install ...

Use argparse; basic wheel install command should run with only stdlib dependencies.

Allow requires_dist in setup.cfg’s [metadata] section. In addition to dependencies in setup.py, but will only be interpreted when installing from wheel, not from sdist. Can be qualified with environment markers.

Fix wheel.signatures in sdist

Integrated digital signatures support without C extensions.

Integrated “wheel install” command (single package, no dependency resolution) including compatibility check.

Automatic signing if WHEEL_TOOL points to the wheel binary

Even more Python 3 fixes

‘wheel sign’ uses the keys generated by ‘wheel keygen’ (instead of generating a new key at random each time)

Python 2/3 encoding/decoding fixes

Run tests on Python 2.6 (without signature verification)

Updated digital signatures scheme

Python 3 support for digital signatures

Always verify RECORD hashes on extract

“wheel” command line tool to sign, verify, unpack wheel files

none/any draft pep tags update

sort .dist-info at end of wheel archive
