[Docutils-users] Wheel distributions on PyPI

[Alistair Lynn]

Hi–

Currently, docutils on PyPI only has the source distribution. Is there any possibility that wheels for Python 2 and Python 3 could appear there as well?

The 2to3 process for installation in Python 3 means docutils can take a while to install, so having a wheel distribution would be very convenient for me, and probably others.

Thanks

Alistair

Sure, there's a possibility. Somebody just has to be interested enough
and have enough time to do it.

I've heard of wheels, but I have no idea what is involved in producing
them, and little interest or time. The infrastructure of Docutils,
including the setup.py script, is all open. Patches are welcome.

Making the wheel distributions appear at the Docutils site would need
authorisation to upload them, right?

Who has that authority, and what would that person need to do to permit
upload of a new type of distribution?

I imagine it's the same as “whoever currently uploads an sdist”. So
someone from that set of people would need to be involved also in
uploading wheel distributions.

They need to be added as a maintainer on PyPI. The site recognizes wheel files automatically, so nothing else needs to be changed.
