DESCRIPTION

Wheels are the new standard for installing Python libraries and programs. The build is defined by a setup.py file in the top source directory, which controls the installation of files and the building of C Python extensions. Many such packages are hosted on the Python Package Index (PyPI).

This cygclass handles the building of wheel-based Python 2 packages, for use by packages which do not yet support Python 3, or for backport module packages which are not needed with Python 3. Python module packages which support both Python 2 and 3 should use python-wheel.cygclass instead.
