With support for the latest PEPs, Whey offers a comprehensive solution for building and packaging advanced Python projects. . some of the main features of the Whey project: - PEP 621 metadata support: Whey incorporates metadata as specified by PEP 621, allowing efficient management of dependencies in Python projects. - PEP 517 Can be used as a backend build: As a PEP 517 backend, Whey offers flexibility in building projects, including those that rely on Cython for compiling C/C++ extensions. - PEP 427 creates wheels: Whey has the ability to create wheels, as defined by PEP 427. This is particularly relevant for projects using Cython, as wheels are binary packages, providing efficiency in packaging and distribution. - Handles hint type files (py.typed and .pyi stubs): Whey understands and properly handles hint type files such as py.typed and *.pyi stubs. Although not directly linked to Cython, this capability is crucial for modern projects that make use of type annotations to improve static analysis and documentation.
