Usage

Processing the wheel in place:

# Output: your_wheel-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

or renaming for the python version:

$ python3.13 -m pyc_wheel --rename your_wheel-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
# Output: your_wheel-1.0.0-cp313-none-any.whl

or with backup:

$ python3.13 -m pyc_wheel --rename --with-backup your_wheel-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
# Output: your_wheel-1.0.0-cp313-none-any.whl
#         your_wheel-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl.bak

or with quiet:

$ python3 -m pyc_wheel --quiet your_wheel-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
# Output: your_wheel-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

or skipping compilation for a file subset:

$ python3 -m pyc_wheel --exclude "some/regex" your_wheel-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

To check all available processing options:
