That doesn't seem to be a particular fast adoption. I remember seeing the first wheels when working at a job I quit early 2010. So it must be over 10 years. Ed

That doesn't seem to be a particular fast adoption. I remember seeing the first wheels when working at a job I quit early 2010. So it must be over 10 years.
Edit: A web search points to 2012, so maybe it's "only" 8 years?
Edit 2: Pip came in 2008, so something changed somewhat before 2010 as I remembered. But what did it install if not wheels?

- groodt 6y agoIf you were using PyPI you would have encountered source archives or Wheels. If you were not using PyPI you could have encountered source archives or Eggs.

- groodt 6y agoIf you were using PyPI before Wheels were available, you would have encountered source distributions (sdist).
