PDM plugin that save your requirements as wheels, similar to pip-wheel

pdm-wheel

A PDM plugin that save your requirements as wheels, similar to pip wheel

Use cases

• You want to build wheels for your dependencies, but don't want to use pdm export and pip wheel.
• You need to pass the wheels to a CI/CD pipeline, and don't want to build them on the CI/CD server.
• You want to install dependencies in a Docker image, but don't wan't to configure private repositories in the image.

Supported versions

• Python 3.10+
• PDM 2.7.4+

Installation

Install it just like any other PDM plugin:

pdm self add pdm-wheel

If you have installed PDM with the recommended tool pipx, add this plugin by:

pipx inject pdm pdm-wheel

Or if you have installed PDM with pip install --user pdm, install with pip to the user site:

python -m pip install --user pdm-wheel

Optionally, you can also specify the plugin in your project pyproject.toml, to make it installable with pdm install --plugins:

[tool.pdm]
plugins = [
    "pdm-wheel"
]

Usage

pdm wheel [common-options] [dependencies-selection-options] [wheel-options]

💡 Check the options for your version of pdm wheel with:

pdm wheel --help

Wheel Options:

-w OUTPUT, --wheel-dir OUTPUT

Specify the output directory. It will be created it it does not exists. Default is the current directory ./wheels Environment variable: PDM_WHEEL_DIR

--clean

Clean the target directory before building.

--no-clean

Do not clean the target directory before building. This is the default behavior.

Notes on lockfiles

PDM 2.8+ now saves the lockfiles with only hashes and no URL by default.

There is currently a performance overhead, as some internals expect the URL to be present, else they will try to reach the indexes to get it.

Thus, I recommend you use pdm lock --static-urls to have faster pdm wheel operations.

Read more about this in PDM's documentation.

Examples

# Save all dependencies (including dev deps) as wheels in the ./wheels folder
pdm wheel -w wheels
# Save all dev dependencies  as wheels in the ./wheels folder
pdm wheel -w wheels --dev
# Save all non-dev dependencies as wheels in the ./wheels folder
pdm wheel -w wheels --prod

Caveats

1. pdm-wheel does not check whether the wheels are already built.
