Compile all Python files inside a wheel to bytecode files

Project description

wheelbin receives a wheel file and returns its compiled version, i.e. an equivalent wheel file with the Python files substituted with their corresponding Python bytecode files.

The output wheel filename reflects this compilation by fixing the Python implementation, ABI and target architecture, and it replaces the .whl extension with .bin.whl.

Additionally, Python files can be excluded from compilation by passing a wildcard expression to the --exclude option.

wheelbin is a package forked from the original pycwheel by Grant Patten.

Usage

For example, given a wheel file your_wheel-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl and wheelbin installed on a GNU/Linux distribution under Python 3.7:

$ wheelbin your_wheel-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
# Output: your_wheel-1.0.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.bin.whl
