Quickstart ========== To build a wheel for your project:: python -m pip install build python -m build --wheel The wheel will go to ``dist/yourproject-.whl``. If you want to make universal (Python 2/3 compatible, pure Python) wheels, add the following section to your ``setup.cfg``:: [bdist_wheel] universal = 1 To convert an ``.egg`` or file to a wheel:: wheel convert youreggfile.egg Similarly, to convert a Windows installer (made using ``python setup.py bdist_wininst``) to a wheel:: wheel convert yourinstaller.exe
