NAME

6       pip-wheel - description of pip wheel command
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Build Wheel archives for your requirements and dependencies.
10
11       Wheel is a built-package format, and offers the advantage of not recom‐
12       piling your software during every install. For more  details,  see  the
13       wheel docs: https://wheel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
14
15       Requirements: setuptools>=0.8, and wheel.
16
17       'pip  wheel'  uses  the bdist_wheel setuptools extension from the wheel
18       package to build individual wheels.

USAGE

22          pip wheel [options] <requirement specifier> ...
23          pip wheel [options] -r <requirements file> ...
24          pip wheel [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ...
25          pip wheel [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
26          pip wheel [options] <archive url/path> ...
27

OPTIONS

29       -w, --wheel-dir <dir>
30              Build wheels into <dir>, where the default is the current  work‐
31              ing directory.
32
33       --no-binary <format_control>
34              Do  not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and
35              each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either ":all:"  to
36              disable  all  binary packages, ":none:" to empty the set (notice
37              the colons), or one or more package names  with  commas  between
38              them  (no colons). Note that some packages are tricky to compile
39              and may fail to install when this option is used on them.
40
41       --only-binary <format_control>
42              Do not use source packages. Can be supplied multiple times,  and
43              each  time adds to the existing value. Accepts either ":all:" to
44              disable all source packages, ":none:" to empty the set,  or  one
45              or more package names with commas between them. Packages without
46              binary distributions will fail to install when  this  option  is
47              used on them.
48
49       --prefer-binary
50              Prefer older binary packages over newer source packages.
51
52       --build-option <options>
53              Extra arguments to be supplied to 'setup.py bdist_wheel'.
54
55       --no-build-isolation
56              Disable  isolation  when  building a modern source distribution.
57              Build  dependencies  specified  by  PEP  518  must  be   already
58              installed if this option is used.
59
60       --use-pep517
61              Use   PEP   517   for   building   source   distributions   (use
62              --no-use-pep517 to force legacy behaviour).
63
64       -c, --constraint <file>
65              Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option
66              can be used multiple times.
67
68       -e, --editable <path/url>
69              Install  a  project  in  editable mode (i.e. setuptools "develop
70              mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.
71
72       -r, --requirement <file>
73              Install from the given requirements file.  This  option  can  be
74              used multiple times.
75
76       --src <dir>
77              Directory  to check out editable projects into. The default in a
78              virtualenv is "<venv path>/src". The default for global installs
79              is "<current dir>/src".
80
81       --ignore-requires-python
82              Ignore the Requires-Python information.
83
84       --no-deps
85              Don't install package dependencies.
86
87       -b, --build <dir>
88              (DEPRECATED)  Directory  to  unpack  packages into and build in.
89              Note that an initial build still  takes  place  in  a  temporary
90              directory.  The  location  of  temporary directories can be con‐
91              trolled by setting the TMPDIR environment variable (TEMP on Win‐
92              dows)  appropriately.  When  passed,  build  directories are not
93              cleaned in case of failures.
94
95       --progress-bar <progress_bar>
96              Specify     type     of     progress     to     be     displayed
97              [off|on|ascii|pretty|emoji] (default: on)
98
99       --global-option <options>
100              Extra  global options to be supplied to the setup.py call before
101              the 'bdist_wheel' command.
102
103       --pre  Include pre-release and development versions.  By  default,  pip
104              only finds stable versions.
105
106       --require-hashes
107              Require a hash to check each requirement against, for repeatable
108              installs. This option is implied when any package in a  require‐
109              ments file has a --hash option.
110
111       --no-clean
112              Don't clean up build directories.
