wheel-inspect examines Python wheel files and outputs various information about the contents within as JSON-serializable objects. It can be invoked in Python code as:

from wheel_inspect import inspect_wheel

output = inspect_wheel(path_to_wheel_file)

or from the command line with the wheel2json command.

Installation

wheel-inspect requires Python 3.4 or higher. Just use pip for Python 3 (You have pip, right?) to install wheel-inspect and its dependencies:

python3 -m pip install wheel-inspect

Example

$ wheel2json wheel_inspect-1.0.0.dev1-py3-none-any.whl
