How to export Cython binary wheels from Tox ?

[bsrdjan]

In my Cython project, wheels must be generated for each Python version and platform and attached to Github release, like here

I configured Tox to build these wheels and test them with different Python versions and all works fine.

I could not figure out how to "export" these wheels from .tox folder (suppose the wheels are there), so they can be uploaded to to GH release? Short shell script could activate pyenvs and build wheels at expected location but using Tox would be more elegant, if possible.

The question/requirement is common for Cython projects I suppose.

https://cibuildwheel.readthedocs.io/en/stable is the PyPA recommended solution. For tox you would need to use the build tool https://github.com/pypa/build and some dedicated build environments to achieve similar.

Thank you @gaborbernat. python -m build --no-isolation did the trick, wheels are created at requested location.

--no-isolation is very much not recommended 😊

[bsrdjan]

right, I ended up with simple solution, without ---no-isolation

python -m build --wheel --outdir dist
