repairwheel 0.5.0

Repair any wheel, anywhere

repairwheel

Overview

• repairwheel combines the "repair" steps from auditwheel, delocate, and delvewheel into a single tool, enabling cross-platform wheel repair.
• It includes pure-python replacements for external tools like patchelf, otool, install_name_tool, and codesign, so no non-python dependencies are required.

What's it do?

1. When invoked, repairwheel first looks at the platform tag on the input wheel.
2. Based on the tag, repairwheel selects a repair step from auditwheel, delocate, or delvewheel (or nothing, if it's a pure-Python wheel)
3. Finally, repairwheel rewrites the result in a canonical form ensuring that:
   1. File timestamps are set to a constant value;
   2. Files in the archive are ordered lexicographically; and
   3. Files in RECORD are ordered lexicographically

The final result should be bitwise-identitcal regardless of the system used to perform the repair.
