It creates wheels according to PEP 427 and handles type hint files (py.typed and .pyi stubs) automatically. The package is actively maintained, supports Python 3.6 through 3.12 on both CPython and PyPy, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.\n\nThe package targets developers building simple to moderately complex Python projects who want a straightforward, standards-compliant build system without the overhead of larger frameworks. It integrates directly into the build process via pyproject.toml configuration and can optionally validate README rendering for PyPI compatibility.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building a simple Python project and want a lightweight, standards-compliant PEP 517 build backend. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and integrates cleanly via pyproject.toml. It is not worth installing if you need advanced build customization or are already committed to another build system."},"id":"whey","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/whey","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/whey.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/whey/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-05-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"whey","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A simple Python wheel builder for simple projects."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":704994,"position":5274,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.1"}
