Wheel builder¶
A wheel is a binary distribution of a Python package that can be installed directly into an environment.
Configuration¶
The builder plugin name is wheel.
[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
[build.targets.wheel]
Options¶
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
core-metadata-version | "2.1" | The version of core metadata to use |
shared-data | A mapping similar to the forced inclusion option corresponding to data that will be installed globally in a given Python environment, usually under sys.prefix | |
extra-metadata | A mapping similar to the forced inclusion option corresponding to extra metadata that will be shipped in a directory named extra_metadata | |
strict-naming | true | Whether or not file names should contain the normalized version of the project name |
macos-max-compat | true | Whether or not on macOS, when build hooks have set the infer_tag build data, the wheel name should signal broad support rather than specific versions for newer SDK versions.Note: The default will become false, and this option eventually removed, sometime after consumers like pip start supporting these newer SDK versions. |
Versions¶
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
standard (default) | The latest standardized format |
editable | A wheel that only ships .pth files or import hooks for real-time development |
Default file selection¶
When the user has not set any file selection options, the project name will be used to determine the package to ship in the following heuristic order:
<NAME>/__init__.pysrc/<NAME>/__init__.py<NAME>.py<NAMESPACE>/<NAME>/__init__.py
If none of these heuristics are satisfied, an error will be raised.
Reproducibility¶
Reproducible builds are supported.
Build data¶
This is data that can be modified by build hooks.
| Data | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
tag | The full tag part of the filename (e.g. py3-none-any), defaulting to a cross-platform wheel with the supported major versions of Python based on project metadata | |
infer_tag | False | When tag is not set, this may be enabled to use the one most specific to the platform, Python interpreter, and ABI |
pure_python | True | Whether or not to write metadata indicating that the package does not contain any platform-specific files |
dependencies | Extra project dependencies | |
extra_metadata | Additional extra-metadata entries, which take precedence in case of conflicts | |
force_include_editable | Similar to the force_include option but specifically for the editable version and takes precedence |
