This is a command line tool for manipulating Python wheel files, as defined in PEP 427. It contains the following functionality:

• Convert .egg archives into .whl
• Unpack wheel archives
• Repack wheel archives
• Add or remove tags in existing wheel archives

This project used to contain the implementation of the setuptools bdist_wheel command, but as of setuptools v70.1, it no longer needs wheel installed for that to work. Thus, you should install this only if you intend to use the wheel command line tool!

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.
