wheel
=====
This library is the reference implementation of the Python wheel packaging
standard, as defined in `PEP 427`_.
It has two different roles:
#. A setuptools_ extension for building wheels that provides the
``bdist_wheel`` setuptools command
#. A command line tool for working with wheel files
It should be noted that wheel is **not** intended to be used as a library, and
as such there is no stable, public API.
Documentation
-------------
The documentation_ can be found on Read The Docs.
Code of Conduct
---------------
Everyone interacting in the wheel project's codebases, issue trackers, chat
rooms, and mailing lists is expected to follow the `PSF Code of Conduct`_.
