This library aims to make it dead simple to create a format-compliant [.whl
file (wheel)](https://pythonwheels.com/). It provides an API comparable to
[zipfile](https://docs.python.org/3/library/zipfile.html). Use this if you wish
to inspect or create wheels in your code.

For a quick look, see the example on the right, which packages the wheelfile
module itself into a wheel 🤸.

#### What's the difference between this and [wheel](https://pypi.org/project/wheel/)?

"Wheel" tries to provide a reference implementation for the standard. It is used
by setuptools and has its own CLI, but no stable API. The goal of Wheelfile is
to provide a simple API.

Wheelfile does not depend on Wheel.

[his gist](https://gist.github.com/pfmoore/20f3654ca33f8b14f0fcb6dfa1a6b469)
of basic metadata parsing logic, which helped to avoid many foolish mistakes
in the initial implementation.
