The Whey project is a powerful Python tool that simplifies the process of
creating and distributing high-performance Python packages, especially
designed for those using Cython for compilation. With support for the latest
PEPs, Whey offers a comprehensive solution for building and packaging advanced
Python projects.
.
some of the main features of the Whey project:
- PEP 621 metadata support:
Whey incorporates metadata as specified by PEP 621, allowing efficient
management of dependencies in Python projects.
- PEP 517 Can be used as a backend build:
As a PEP 517 backend, Whey offers flexibility in building projects,
including those that rely on Cython for compiling C/C++ extensions.
- PEP 427 creates wheels:
Whey has the ability to create wheels, as defined by PEP 427. This is
particularly relevant for projects using Cython, as wheels are binary
packages, providing efficiency in packaging and distribution.
- Handles hint type files (py.typed and .pyi stubs):
Whey understands and properly handles hint type files such as py.typed
and *.pyi stubs. Although not directly linked to Cython, this capability
is crucial for modern projects that make use of type annotations to
improve static analysis and documentation.
