It takes a wheel file, inspects its platform tag, applies the appropriate repair strategy for that platform, and outputs a normalized wheel with consistent file ordering, timestamps, and RECORD entries\u2014aiming for bitwise-identical results regardless of the build system.\n\nThe tool includes pure-Python replacements for external utilities like patchelf, otool, install_name_tool, and codesign, eliminating the need for system-level dependencies. This makes it practical for CI/CD pipelines and build environments where installing platform-specific tools is inconvenient. It's designed for developers and packagers who need to distribute binary wheels across multiple platforms with minimal friction.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you package binary extensions for multiple platforms. It consolidates three separate repair tools into one, has low install friction, is actively maintained, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. Install it if your build pipeline needs cross-platform wheel repair without managing platform-specific external tools."},"id":"repairwheel","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/repairwheel","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/repairwheel.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/repairwheel/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"repairwheel","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Repair any wheel, anywhere"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":121085,"position":11996,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.2"}
