The much-anticipated 0.24.0 release of wheel has occurred.
- The python tag used for pure-python packages is now .pyN (major version
only). This change actually occurred in 0.23.0 when the --python-tag
option was added, but was not explicitly mentioned in the changelog then.
- wininst2wheel and egg2wheel removed. Use "wheel convert [archive]"
instead.
- Wheel now supports setuptools style conditional requirements via the
extras_require={} syntax. Separate 'extra' names from conditions using
the : character. Wheel's own setup.py does this. (The empty-string
extra is the same as install_requires.) These conditional requirements
should work the same whether the package is installed by wheel or
by setup.py.
So we support and convert setuptools' conditional requiremenst to
METADATA. However, although
pkg_resources.working_set.by_key['wheel']._dep_map is correct, pip
install wheel[extraname] doesn't seem to work at all; this bug may be
fixed in an unreleased pip?
