``wheel-inspect`` examines Python wheel files & ``*.dist-info`` directories and
outputs various information about their contents as JSON-serializable objects.
It can be invoked in Python code as::

    from wheel_inspect import inspect_wheel

    output = inspect_wheel(path_to_wheel_file)

or from the command line with the ``wheel2json`` command.

API
===

``wheel_inspect.DIST_INFO_SCHEMA``
   A `JSON Schema <http://json-schema.org>`_ for the structure returned by
   ``inspect_dist_info_dir()``.  It is the same as ``WHEEL_SCHEMA``, but
   without the ``"filename"``, ``"project"``, ``"version"``, ``"buildver"``,
   ``"pyver"``, ``"abi"``, ``"arch"``, and ``"file"`` keys.

``wheel_inspect.WHEEL_SCHEMA``
   A `JSON Schema <http://json-schema.org>`_ for the structure returned by
   ``inspect_wheel()``.  This value was previously exported under the name
   "``SCHEMA``"; the old name continues to be available for backwards
   compatibility, but it will go away in the future and should not be used in
   new code.

``wheel_inspect.inspect_dist_info_dir(dirpath)``
   Treat ``dirpath`` as a ``*.dist-info`` directory and inspect just it & its
   contents.  The structure of the return value is described by
   ``DIST_INFO_SCHEMA``.

``wheel_inspect.inspect_wheel(path)``
   Inspect the wheel file at the given ``path``.  The structure of the return
   value is described by ``WHEEL_SCHEMA``.


Command
=======

::

    wheel2json [<path> ...]

``wheel-inspect`` provides a ``wheel2json`` command (also accessible as
``python -m wheel_inspect``) that can be used to inspect wheels and
``*.dist-info`` directories from the command line.  Each path passed to the
command is inspected separately (treated as a ``*.dist-info`` directory if it
is a directory, treated as a wheel file otherwise), and the resulting data is
output as a pretty-printed JSON object.  (Note that this results in a stream of
JSON objects with no separation when multiple paths are given.)
