This is a command line tool for manipulating Python wheel files, as defined in
PEP 427_. It contains the following functionality:
- Convert
.eggarchives into.whl - Unpack wheel archives
- Repack wheel archives
- Add or remove tags in existing wheel archives

Historical note
This project used to contain the implementation of the setuptools_ bdist_wheel
command, but as of setuptools v70.1, it no longer needs wheel installed for that to
work. Thus, you should install this only if you intend to use the wheel command
line tool!

rooms, and mailing lists is expected to follow the PSF Code of Conduct_.
