NAME

       sip-wheel - build a wheel for the sip project

SYNOPSIS

       sip-wheel [options]

DESCRIPTION

       sip-wheel creates a wheel (a binary distribution) than be uploaded to PyPI.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Display a help message.

       -V, --version
              Display the SIP version number.

       --quiet
              All progress messages are disabled.

       --verbose
              Verbose progress messages are enabled.

       --api-dir DIR
              A QScintilla .api file is created in DIR.  This must be a name relative to the directory where the
              wheel will be installed.

       --build-dir DIR
              DIR  is  created  as  a  build directory in which all generated files will be created.  This build
              directory is not removed after the build  has  been  completed.   By  default  a  temporary  build
              directory is created which is removed after the build has been completed.

       --build-tag TAG
              TAG  is  the build tag to be used in the name of the wheel.  By default the name of the wheel does
              not include a build tag.

       --concatenate N
              The generated code is split into N files.  By default one file is generated for each  C  structure
              or C++ class.  Specifying a low value of N can significantly speed up the build of large projects.

       --disable NAME
              The  NAME  bindings  are  disabled  and  will not be built.  This option may be specified multiple
              times.  It is only available if the project contains multiple sets of bindings.

       --disabled-feature TAG
              The TAG feature tag is disabled.  This option may be specified multiple times.

       --enable NAME
              The NAME bindings are enabled and will be built.  Any associated configuration  tests  that  would
              normally  be  run to determine if the bindings should be built are suppressed.  This option may be
              specified multiple times.  It is only available if the project contains multiple sets of bindings.

       --no-manylinux
              Support for manylinux in the platform tag of a name of a wheel is disabled.   It  should  only  be
              used if support for older versions of pip is required.

       --name NAME
              NAME  is used instead of the PyPI project name in the pyproject.toml file in the name of the wheel
              file.

       --debug
              A build with debugging symbols is performed.

       --no-docstrings
              The  generation  of  docstrings  that  describe  the  signature  of  all  functions,  methods  and
              constructors is disabled.

       --pep484-pyi
              The generation of Python type hints stub files is enabled.  These files contain a description of a
              module's API that is compliant with PEP 484.

       --protected-is-public
              SIP  can  generate  code to provide access to protected C++ functions from Python.  On non-Windows
              platforms this code can be avoided  if  the  protected  keyword  is  redefined  as  public  during
              compilation.  This can result in a significant reduction in the size of a generated Python module.
              This  option  enables  the  redefinition  of  protected and is the default on all platforms except
              Windows.

       --no-protected-is-public
              This option disables the redefinition of protected to access protected C++ functions  from  Python
              and is the default on Windows.

       --tracing
              Debugging  statements  that  trace  the execution of the bindings are automatically generated.  By
              default the statements are not generated.

                                                                                                    sip-wheel(1)
