## py_package

<pre>
py_package(<a href="#py_package-name">name</a>, <a href="#py_package-deps">deps</a>, <a href="#py_package-packages">packages</a>)
</pre>

A rule to select all files in transitive dependencies of deps which
belong to given set of Python packages.

This rule is intended to be used as data dependency to py_wheel rule.

| <a id="py_package-packages"></a>packages |  List of Python packages to include in the distribution. Sub-packages are automatically included.   | List of strings | optional | <code>[]</code> |

## py_wheel_dist

<pre>
py_wheel_dist(<a href="#py_wheel_dist-name">name</a>, <a href="#py_wheel_dist-out">out</a>, <a href="#py_wheel_dist-wheel">wheel</a>)
</pre>

Prepare a dist/ folder, following Python's packaging standard practice.

See https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/#generating-distribution-archives
which recommends a dist/ folder containing the wheel file(s), source distributions, etc.

This also has the advantage that stamping information is included in the wheel's filename.

Internal rule used by the [py_wheel macro](/docs/packaging.md#py_wheel).

These intentionally have the same name to avoid sharp edges with Bazel macros.
For example, a `bazel query` for a user's `py_wheel` macro expands to `py_wheel` targets,
in the way they expect.

| <a id="py_wheel_rule-stamp"></a>stamp |  Whether to encode build information into the wheel. Possible values:<br><br>- <code>stamp = 1</code>: Always stamp the build information into the wheel, even in [--nostamp](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/user-manual.html#flag--stamp) builds. This setting should be avoided, since it potentially kills remote caching for the target and any downstream actions that depend on it.<br><br>- <code>stamp = 0</code>: Always replace build information by constant values. This gives good build result caching.<br><br>- <code>stamp = -1</code>: Embedding of build information is controlled by the [--[no]stamp](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/main/user-manual.html#flag--stamp) flag.<br><br>Stamped targets are not rebuilt unless their dependencies change.   | Integer | optional | <code>-1</code> |

Builds a Python Wheel.

Wheels are Python distribution format defined in https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427/.

This macro packages a set of targets into a single wheel.
It wraps the [py_wheel rule](#py_wheel_rule).

Currently only pure-python wheels are supported.

Examples:

```python
# Package some specific py_library targets, without their dependencies
py_wheel(
    name = "minimal_with_py_library",
    # Package data. We're building "example_minimal_library-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl"
    distribution = "example_minimal_library",
    python_tag = "py3",
    version = "0.0.1",
    deps = [
        "//examples/wheel/lib:module_with_data",
        "//examples/wheel/lib:simple_module",
    ],
)

# Use py_package to collect all transitive dependencies of a target,
# selecting just the files within a specific python package.
py_package(
    name = "example_pkg",
    # Only include these Python packages.
    packages = ["examples.wheel"],
    deps = [":main"],
)

py_wheel(
    name = "minimal_with_py_package",
    # Package data. We're building "example_minimal_package-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl"
    distribution = "example_minimal_package",
    python_tag = "py3",
    version = "0.0.1",
    deps = [":example_pkg"],
)
```

To publish the wheel to Pypi, the twine package is required.
rules_python doesn't provide twine itself, see https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/issues/1016
However you can install it with pip_parse, just like we do in the WORKSPACE file in rules_python.

Once you've installed twine, you can pass its label to the `twine` attribute of this macro,
to get a "[name].publish" target.

Example:

```python
py_wheel(
    name = "my_wheel",
    twine = "@publish_deps_twine//:pkg",
    ...
)
```

Now you can run a command like the following, which publishes to https://test.pypi.org/

```sh
% TWINE_USERNAME=__token__ TWINE_PASSWORD=pypi-*** \
    bazel run --stamp --embed_label=1.2.4 -- \
    //path/to:my_wheel.publish --repository testpypi
```
