wheel-stub 0.3.2

wheel stub package build backend

wheel-stub

This is a PEP 517 build backend to act as a "soft link" between a package released on a 3rd party package index and pypi.org. This allows users to keep the simple UX of pip install foo while hosting the actual wheel files on a non-PyPi index.

Demo usage

1. Install hatch: https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/install/
2. Run hatch shell
3. Run hatch build -t wheel
4. cd demo
5. Grab your favorite wheel file on https://pypi.nvidia.com, e.g.

   wget https://pypi.nvidia.com/nvidia-cuda-runtime-cu12/nvidia_cuda_runtime_cu12-12.4.99-py3-none-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl
   

6. Build the sdist:

   PIP_FIND_LINKS=`pwd`/../dist python -m build --sdist --config-setting source_wheel=nvidia_cuda_runtime_cu12-12.4.99-py3-none-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl
   

   There should now be a new dist/ folder with e.g. nvidia_cuda_runtime_cu12-12.4.99.tar.gz
7. Install the sdist:

   pip install --no-cache ./dist/<my_sdist>.tar.gz
   

   Feel free to test with --extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com as well.
8. Done! You should see everything install correctly

Configuration

There are a few configuration options available for wheel_stub. These can be set in your pyproject.toml file:

• index_url: The url to the 3rd party index to install wheels from. This is the only required configuration setting.

• stub_only: Do not install the wheel from the 3rd party package repository, instead erroring with instructions of how to use the repository directly. This can be used in cases such as a project which depends on non-PyPi dependencies, which would get rejected from pypi.org. Set automatically based on project dependencies. true or false (default false)

• include_cuda_debuginfo: Whether to query information about the available CUDA runtime when reporting an error. true or false (default false)
