PIP-WHEEL(1)

NAME
pip-wheel - description of pip wheel command

DESCRIPTION

Build Wheel archives for your requirements and dependencies.

Wheel is a built-package format, and offers the advantage of not recompiling your software during every install. For more details, see the wheel docs: <https://wheel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>

'pip wheel' uses the build system interface as described here: <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/build-system/>

USAGE

    python -m pip wheel [options] <requirement specifier> ...
    python -m pip wheel [options] -r <requirements file> ...
    python -m pip wheel [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ...
    python -m pip wheel [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
    python -m pip wheel [options] <archive url/path> ...

OPTIONS

-w, --wheel-dir <dir>
    Build wheels into <dir>, where the default is the current working directory.

    (environment variable: PIP_WHEEL_DIR)

--no-build-isolation
    Disable isolation when building a modern source distribution. Build dependencies specified by PEP 518 must be already installed if this option is used.

    (environment variable: PIP_NO_BUILD_ISOLATION)

--check-build-dependencies
    Check the build dependencies.

    (environment variable: PIP_CHECK_BUILD_DEPENDENCIES)

-c, --constraint <file>
    Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option can be used multiple times.

    (environment variable: PIP_CONSTRAINT)

--build-constraint <file>
    Constrain build dependencies using the given constraints file. This option can be used multiple times.

    (environment variable: PIP_BUILD_CONSTRAINT)

-e, --editable <path/url>
    Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools "develop mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.

    (environment variable: PIP_EDITABLE)

-r, --requirement <file>
    Install from the given requirements file. The file or URL can be in pip's requirements.txt format, or pylock.toml format. pylock.toml support is experimental. This option can be used multiple times.

    (environment variable: PIP_REQUIREMENT)

--requirements-from-script <file>
    Install dependencies of the given script file as defined by PEP 723 inline metadata.

    (environment variable: PIP_REQUIREMENTS_FROM_SCRIPT)

--src <dir>
    Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a virtualenv is "<venv path>/src". The default for global installs is "<current dir>/src".

    (environment variable: PIP_SRC, PIP_SOURCE, PIP_SOURCE_DIR, PIP_SOURCE_DIRECTORY)

--ignore-requires-python
    Ignore the Requires-Python information.

    (environment variable: PIP_IGNORE_REQUIRES_PYTHON)

--no-deps
    Don't install package dependencies.

    (environment variable: PIP_NO_DEPS, PIP_NO_DEPENDENCIES)

--progress-bar <progress_bar>
    Specify whether the progress bar should be used. In 'auto' mode, --quiet will suppress all progress bars. [auto, on, off, raw] (default: auto)

    (environment variable: PIP_PROGRESS_BAR)

--no-verify
    Don't verify if built wheel is valid.

    (environment variable: PIP_NO_VERIFY)

-C, --config-settings <settings>
    Configuration settings to be passed to the build backend. Settings take the form KEY=VALUE. Use multiple --config-settings options to pass multiple keys to the backend.

    (environment variable: PIP_CONFIG_SETTINGS)

--require-hashes
    Require a hash to check each requirement against, for repeatable installs. This option is implied when any package in a requirements file has a --hash option.

    (environment variable: PIP_REQUIRE_HASHES)

--group <[path:]group>
    Install a named dependency-group from a "pyproject.toml" file. If a path is given, the name of the file must be "pyproject.toml". Defaults to using "pyproject.toml" in the current directory.
