What are wheels?

Wheels are the new standard of Python distribution and are intended to replace eggs.

Advantages of wheels

  • Faster installation for pure Python and native C extension packages.
  • Avoids arbitrary code execution for installation. (Avoids setup.py)
  • Installation of a C extension does not require a compiler on Windows or macOS.
  • Allows better caching for testing and continuous integration.
  • Creates .pyc files as part of installation to ensure they match the Python interpreter used.
  • More consistent installs across platforms and machines.
