Unpacking wheel files - DavidTheGrockle - Dec-14-2020

I am trying to open a .whl file.

I went to https://pypi.org/project/tidegravity which takes you into GitHub.

I then downloaded tidegravity-0.40b1-py3-none-any.whl into my Download file.

I want to unzip this so I can check the authors' algebra coincides with the
research paper they are working from.

Following https://wheel.readthedocs.io/en/stable I wrote various little programs along the lines of
unpack.py where unpack had two lines
wheel upack tidegravity-0.40b1-py3-none-any.whl
Unpacking to ./<some path>

I cannot get this to work. I made various obvious variants but it said unpack was a syntax error.
I checked that wheel was installed by trying >>>pip install wheel.

I missed something obvious - please tell me what !

why would you need to unzip the wheel file? Just look at the github repo.
why would you write a py script to unzip the wheel? Just unzip it as regular archive with your program of choice and open the wheel or tar.gz file from pypi.

if you want to use wheel unpack tidegravity-0.4.0b1-py3-none-any.whl - you need to run this from cmd/terminal shell, not inside python module
if you still want to use py script - post your code in python tags and full traceback if you get any error.

import zipfile

with zipfile.ZipFile("tidegravity-0.4.0b1-py3-none-any.whl") as f:
    f.extractall('./somepath')

import subprocess

subprocess.run(['wheel', 'unpack', 'tidegravity-0.4.0b1-py3-none-any.whl'])

As mention look at GitHub Repo
As long a setup.py(what is used to make the wheel) is not outdated.
Then files on Repo will be the same as the packed wheel.
Then using git make more sense if want files local.

OK Thank you all for this. I didn't understand how to use GitHub properly and I eventually found the code by poking my white stick here and there.
