Publish to pypi as wheel

[zzzeek]

twine is now replaced with tweel.sh:

#!/bin/bash

path=$1

tmp_dir=$(mktemp -d -t tweel-XXXXXXXXXX)

cp $path $tmp_dir/
pushd $tmp_dir/

fname=$( basename $path )

output=$( pip wheel -v ${fname} 2>&1 | grep -e "Created wheel" )

echo $output

if [[ $output =~ filename=([^ ]+) ]] ; then
    wheel=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}

    echo "uploading source build ${fname}"
    twine upload ${fname}

    echo "uploading wheel ${wheel}"
    twine upload ${wheel}
else
    echo "couldn't find wheel file"
fi

popd
rm -fr $tmp_dir

the wheel should be on pypi

Hi,

This package has only stub files. What's the advantage of publishing wheels?

[layday]

The wheel is the only distribution format that pip knows how to install. If there isn't a wheel, pip will build one from the sdist, locally. If you've opted into PEP 517 (which you do simply by having a pyproject.toml), this involves creating a temporary directory, downloading and installing setuptools and wheel in it and then calling a couple of PEP 517 hooks in a subprocess to invoke setup.py. Publishing a wheel is energy-efficient ;)

@zzzeek, What do you mean by that snippet? That issue has already been fixed? Or a fix coming soon?
