wheel-inspect examines Python wheel files & *.dist-info directories and
outputs various information about their contents 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.
wheel-inspect requires Python 3.8 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
$ wheel2json wheel_inspect-1.0.0.dev1-py3-none-any.whl

wheel_inspect.DIST_INFO_SCHEMA- A JSON Schema for the structure returned by
inspect_dist_info_dir(). It is the same asWHEEL_SCHEMA, but without the"filename","project","version","buildver","pyver","abi","arch", and"file"keys. wheel_inspect.WHEEL_SCHEMA- A JSON Schema for the structure returned by
inspect_wheel(). This value was previously exported under the name "SCHEMA"; the old name continues to be available for backwards compatibility, but it will go away in the future and should not be used in new code. wheel_inspect.inspect_dist_info_dir(dirpath)- Treat
dirpathas a*.dist-infodirectory and inspect just it & its contents. The structure of the return value is described byDIST_INFO_SCHEMA. wheel_inspect.inspect_wheel(path)- Inspect the wheel file at the given
path. The structure of the return value is described byWHEEL_SCHEMA.
Previous versions of wheel-inspect provided a parse_wheel_filename()
function. As of version 1.5.0, that feature has been split off into its own
package, wheel-filename.
wheel-inspect continues to re-export this function in order to maintain API
compatibility with earlier versions, but this will change in the future. Code
that imports parse_wheel_filename() from wheel-inspect should be
updated to use wheel-filename instead.
wheel2json [<path> ...]
wheel-inspect provides a wheel2json command (also accessible as
python -m wheel_inspect) that can be used to inspect wheels and
*.dist-info directories from the command line. Each path passed to the
command is inspected separately (treated as a *.dist-info directory if it
is a directory, treated as a wheel file otherwise), and the resulting data is
output as a pretty-printed JSON object. (Note that this results in a stream of
JSON objects with no separation when multiple paths are given.)
