pewee: Pack required DLLs into wheels

When building packages with native extensions, native libraries are not included in the wheel. To fix this problem, we need to put them in ourselves.

There’s auditwheel for Linux and delocate for macOS, so here’s one for Windows.

How pewee works: it unpacks a Windows wheel, goes over those, find DLLs they require, copy them into the wheel, and repack it.

Install

pip install pewee
pip install pewee[cli] # CLI usage

Usage

CLI usage
