It's still experimental but I find it great. A couple of links:\nhttp://wheel.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html\nhttps://bitbucket.org/dholth/wheel\nhttps://bitbucket.org/dholth/python-peps/raw/98cd36228c2e/pep-CTAG.txt\n\nI thought it would be great to try a binary package of Kivy. For windows especially, where compiling is a pain. I know there is already the Kivy development kit, but if someone who can compile could provide a wheel for Windows to test it would be great. I can provide a linux one if someone is interested.\n\nIt's very simple to build wheels. Just install the wheel package (which is available on PyPI) and then (in your package):\n\n    $ python setup.py bdist_wheel\n\nOpen the `dist/` directory and you'll find your wheel. Neat uh?\n\nPip support is coming and once there it should be very fast for installations since it's all pre-built."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kivy/kivy/issues/comments/72447926","html_url":"https://github.com/kivy/kivy/issues/650#issuecomment-72447926","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kivy/kivy/issues/650","id":72447926,"user":{"login":"Vagdish","id":4331914,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4331914?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish","html_url":"https://github.com/Vagdish","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Vagdish/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-02T12:14:04Z","updated_at":"2015-02-02T12:14:04Z","body":"Hey guys !\r\nI'm taking a lot of pleasure to play with Kivy.\r\n\r\nHow about now for packaging Kivy into wheel ? So the installation of Kivy could take place easily thanks to pip on Windows, OSX.\r\n\r\nAny thoughts about that ? The main idea is to avoid the use of Kivy.app or Kivy.bat on these platforms. In addition, deploying Kivy could be easier for you.\r\n\r\nCordially,\r\nVag'"}}
