Upload a .whl file to inspect its contents
How to open a Python Wheel file?
It's very simple, just browse your WHL file or drag and drop it. The contents will be displayed directly in a file explorer.
You can browse package directories, view source code and metadata, extract individual files, or download them directly to your computer.
Files are never uploaded to our server. They are extracted directly in your browser.
What is a Python Wheel file?
A Python Wheel file (.whl) is a built distribution format for Python packages. It contains the files needed to install a package, including Python modules, compiled extensions, metadata and other resources.
Wheel files make Python package installation faster and easier than building packages from source. They can be inspected or extracted to explore their contents without installing the package.
In practice, a WHL file is simply a ZIP archive containing a file structure specific to Python package distributions.
This tool uses JSZip to extract and inspect WHL archives directly in your browser.
