wheels shave a few seconds off of everyone's build. I'm not going to add any non-wheel packages to my CI builds. And many people will avoid depending on patch
because of it.
Thanks for the info. I don't think that there is big win in speed, but I agree that getting rid of setup.py
is a big deal. Caching can be a problem.
What does mean "more consistent" - I thought that it is either not consistent or consistent. What do they mean?
But current .zip files are executable. You don't even need to install them to use. =(
And also you need to know, that I was expelled from Python community, because I didn't want to follow the lemmings way as I put it.
I consider myself a member of this community. Thanks for pointing this out. Maybe you should add this to your README.md?
@graingert sorry, didn't want to discourage you, it is all health problems, the lack of employment and money that make me mean. If you want a deeper discussion with problems with Python ecosystem and economics and a ways to fix that, you can always ping me.
wheels is still an awesome feature, regardless of human issues.
If Tidelift approves this package for subscription, I will look into altering pypack
to produce wheels instead of intermediate .zip files.
@techtonik any plan for doing this after all? Thank you.
Why wheels? The code is binary independent, so no wheels are required..
