What is a WHL File Type?

The Wheel format was introduced into PEP 427, which is a Python enhancement proposal written by Daniel Holth and accepted in 2012. It has been developed as a more reliable and faster way to install Python software than re-build from the source code each time. WHL files have to be moved to the right place on the target system to be installed, whereas a source distribution requires a compilation step before the installation.

Three types of WHL files are available.
