Build Wheel archives for your requirements and dependencies.
Wheel is a built-package format, and offers the advantage of not recompiling your software during every install. For more details, see the wheel docs: http://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest.
Requirements: setuptools>=0.8, and wheel.
‘pip wheel’ uses the bdist_wheel setuptools extension from the wheel package to build individual wheels.
Build wheels into <dir>, where the default is ‘<cwd>/wheelhouse’.
Do not Find and prefer wheel archives when searching indexes and find-links locations.
Extra arguments to be supplied to ‘setup.py bdist_wheel’.
Install from the given requirements file. This option can be used multiple times.
Cache downloaded packages in <dir>.
Don’t install package dependencies.
Directory to unpack packages into and build in. The default in a virtualenv is “<venv path>/build”. The default for global installs is “<OS temp dir>/pip_build_<username>”.
Extra global options to be supplied to the setup.py call before the ‘bdist_wheel’ command.
Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.
Don’t clean up build directories.
Base URL of Python Package Index (default https://pypi.python.org/simple/).
Extra URLs of package indexes to use in addition to –index-url.
Ignore package index (only looking at –find-links URLs instead).
If a url or path to an html file, then parse for links to archives. If a local path or file:// url that’s a directory, then look for archives in the directory listing.
