Python Packaging Tools - setuptools & wheel

Introduce Python Packaging Tools - setuptools & wheel.

PyPA » Python Packaging User Guide » Guides » Tool recommendations

Installation Tool Recommendations
- Use pip to install Python packages from PyPI.
- Use virtualenv, or venv to isolate application specific dependencies from a shared Python installation.
Packaging Tool Recommendations
- Use setuptools to define projects and create Source Distributions.
- Use the bdist_wheel setuptools extension available from the wheel project to create wheels. This is especially beneficial, if your project contains binary extensions.

setuptools#

Easily download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages

setuptools (which includes easy_install) is a collection of enhancements to the Python distutils that allow you to more easily build and distribute Python distributions, especially ones that have dependencies on other packages.

macOS 下使用 brew 安装 python3 时，默认已安装 pip3 和 setuptools。

faner@FAN-MB0:~|⇒  pip3 list
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.
pip (9.0.1)
setuptools (36.5.0)
wheel (0.30.0)
