15 This document documents my trial to build python wheels from
16 docutils. Once it is finished it might be driven into distribution or
17 release documentation.
19 There is `feature request 43`_ : Make setup.py build wheels.
21 Just add this to setup.cfg:
26 See https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/distributing.html#universal-wheels
30 Docutils is not fit for Universal Wheels. Docutils supports both Python 2 and
31 3, but with different code (we use “2to3”). This would make it a candidate
32 for "Pure Python wheels".
35 and bugs275_ : Upload wheels to pypi
37 Currently docutils does not publish any wheels on pypi. Wheels make docutils
38 faster to install (no need to run setup.py, which for a large number of
39 packages can take some time), and is no more difficult than uploading an
40 sdist (see https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/distributing.html#wheels
