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.
