<pre>
whl_library(<a href="#whl_library.name">name</a>, <a href="#whl_library.requirements">requirements</a>, <a href="#whl_library.whl">whl</a>)
</pre>

A rule for importing <code>.whl</code> dependencies into Bazel.

<b>This rule is currently used to implement <code>pip_import</code>,
it is not intended to work standalone, and the interface may change.</b>
See <code>pip_import</code> for proper usage.

This rule imports a <code>.whl</code> file as a <code>py_library</code>:
<pre><code>whl_library(
    name = "foo",
    whl = ":my-whl-file",
    requirements = "name of pip_import rule",
)
</code></pre>

This rule defines a <code>@foo//:pkg</code> <code>py_library</code> target.
