Unofficial Node.js wheels
nodejs-wheel is an unofficial repository to distribute Node.js prebuilt wheels through PyPI using
pip install nodejs-wheel
New in v20.13.0: If you don't need command line interface (CLI), install only nodejs-wheel-binaries, which is a direct dependency of nodejs-wheel.
pip install nodejs-wheel-binaries
The package requires Python 3.7 and above.
The project is powered by scikit-build-core and cibuildwheel.

Other projects
The project is inspired by many other similiar projects:
- samwillis/nodejs-pypi: The package redistribute the official Node.js binaries to PyPI. However, the official binary for Nodejs 18 requires GLIBC 2.28, making it unsupported in manylinux2014 images. Besides, the wheel tag is wrong.
- sbwml/node-latest-centos: Use GitHub Actions to build Node.js in CentOS 7, but is not related to Python or PyPI.
- scikit-build/cmake-python-distributions: Use cibuildwheel and scikit-build to build CMake and distribute CMake in PyPI.
