Make wheels available about testtools HOT 5 CLOSED

That sounds like a me thing :-)

Steps to make this happen are:

1. Add

[wheel]
universal = 1

to your setup.cfg

2. Run setup.py bdist_wheel upload as a part of your release process.

Thanks!

I've got a whole bunch of questions though:

• how do I best ensure that others on the project have wheel installed? The last thing I want to do is break the release process for them
  • i.e. what's the best way to add wheel as a development dependency?
• there's no sign command in your example: how do I sign the uploaded wheel?
• currently the release process does sdist upload --sign, can I separate the upload command to its own line?
  • i.e. will a solo upload --sign sign & upload everything?

I'm investigating these myself now, but hope that making my questions explicit can serve as a starting point for improving documentation.

• You should still upload sdists as well, so it'll work for everyone.
• Really the best way to do this would be setup.py sdist bdist_wheel and then twine upload -s dist/<the files> (https://warehouse.python.org/project/twine/)

I am happy to install additional deps such as wheel as part of the release process. @alex care to make a PR up? We have some automation - see the docs - if you fit into that, we're set.

Applied to docs.
