7
9 Build Wheel archives for your requirements and dependencies.
10 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 'pip wheel' uses the build system interface as described here:
16 https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/build-system/

20 python -m pip wheel [options] <requirement specifier> ...
21 python -m pip wheel [options] -r <requirements file> ...
22 python -m pip wheel [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ...
23 python -m pip wheel [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
24 python -m pip wheel [options] <archive url/path> ...
25
27 -w, --wheel-dir <dir>
28 Build wheels into <dir>, where the default is the current work‐
29 ing directory.
30 --no-binary <format_control>
32 Do not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and
33 each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either ":all:" to
34 disable all binary packages, ":none:" to empty the set (notice
35 the colons), or one or more package names with commas between
36 them (no colons). Note that some packages are tricky to compile
37 and may fail to install when this option is used on them.
38 --only-binary <format_control>
40 Do not use source packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and
41 each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either ":all:" to
42 disable all source packages, ":none:" to empty the set, or one
43 or more package names with commas between them. Packages without
44 binary distributions will fail to install when this option is
45 used on them.
46 --prefer-binary
48 Prefer older binary packages over newer source packages.
49 --no-build-isolation
51 Disable isolation when building a modern source distribution.
52 Build dependencies specified by PEP 518 must be already in‐
53 stalled if this option is used.
54 --use-pep517
56 Use PEP 517 for building source distributions (use
57 --no-use-pep517 to force legacy behaviour).
58 --check-build-dependencies
60 Check the build dependencies when PEP517 is used.
61 -c, --constraint <file>
63 Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option
64 can be used multiple times.
65 -e, --editable <path/url>
67 Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools "develop
68 mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.
69 -r, --requirement <file>
71 Install from the given requirements file. This option can be
72 used multiple times.
73 --src <dir>
75 Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a
76 virtualenv is "<venv path>/src". The default for global installs
77 is "<current dir>/src".
78 --ignore-requires-python
80 Ignore the Requires-Python information.
81 --no-deps
83 Don't install package dependencies.
84 --progress-bar <progress_bar>
86 Specify whether the progress bar should be used [on, off] (de‐
87 fault: on)
88 --no-verify
90 Don't verify if built wheel is valid.
91 --config-settings <settings>
93 Configuration settings to be passed to the PEP 517 build back‐
94 end. Settings take the form KEY=VALUE. Use multiple --con‐
95 fig-settings options to pass multiple keys to the backend.
96 --build-option <options>
98 Extra arguments to be supplied to 'setup.py bdist_wheel'.
99 --global-option <options>
101 Extra global options to be supplied to the setup.py call before
102 the install or bdist_wheel command.
103 --pre Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip
105 only finds stable versions.
106 --require-hashes
108 Require a hash to check each requirement against, for repeatable
109 installs. This option is implied when any package in a require‐
110 ments file has a --hash option.
111 --no-clean
113 Don't clean up build directories.
