It works by modifying the version in the package metadata without requiring a rebuild of the package itself. This is useful when you have a pre-built wheel and need to tag it with a local version identifier or adjust its version for distribution purposes.\n\nThe tool depends on wheel, installer, and packaging to handle the low-level wheel format operations. It requires Python >=3.9. Because it only touches packaging metadata and not version strings embedded in source code, it is not a substitute for proper versioning during the build process, but rather a post-hoc adjustment mechanism for already-compiled artifacts.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to modify wheel metadata after build time. Low install friction and no known vulnerabilities make it safe to try. However, dormant maintenance status (701 days since last release) and small user base suggest limited real-world validation\u2014test thoroughly on your wheel format before relying on it in production."},"id":"change-wheel-version","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/change-wheel-version","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/change-wheel-version.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/change-wheel-version/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"change-wheel-version","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Change the version of a wheel file"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":197852,"position":9745,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.0"}
