wheel convert

Usage

wheel convert [options] <egg_file_or_directory> [egg_file_or_directory...]

Description

Convert one or more eggs (.egg; made with bdist_egg) or Windows installers (.exe; made with bdist_wininst) into wheels.

Egg names must match the standard format:

  • <project>-<version>-pyX.Y for pure Python wheels

  • <project>-<version>-pyX.Y-<arch> for binary wheels

Options

-d, --dest-dir <dir>

Directory to store the generated wheels in (defaults to current directory).

Examples

  • Convert a single egg file:

    $ wheel convert foobar-1.2.3-py2.7.egg
    $ ls *.whl
    foobar-1.2.3-py27-none.whl
    
  • If the egg file name is invalid:

    $ wheel convert pycharm-debug.egg
    "pycharm-debug.egg" is not a valid egg name (must match at least name-version-pyX.Y.egg)
    $ echo $?
