And then of course cibuildwheel builds binary wheels for Win/Mac/Lin and manylinux wheels for libc and/or musl libc. repairwheel, auditwheel, delocate, and delvewheel bundle shared library dependencies (.so and DLL) into the wheel, which is a .zip file with a .whl extension and a declarative manifest that doesn't require python code to run as the package installer. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42347468 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42347468 repairwheel: https://github.com/jvolkman/repairwheel https://github.com/jvolkman/repairwheel : > It includes pure-python replacements for external tools like patchelf, otool, install_name_tool, and codesign, so no non-python dependencies are required.
