Packaged projects for the `Python `_ programming

language are distributed in two main formats: *sdists* (archives of code and

other files that require processing before they can be installed) and *wheels*

(zipfiles of code ready for immediate installation).  A project's wheel

contains the complete information about what modules, files, & commands the

project installs, along with information about what other projects the project

depends on, but `the Python Package Index (PyPI) `_ (where

wheels are distributed) doesn't expose any of this information!  This is the

problem that `Wheelodex `_ is here to solve.

Wheelodex scans PyPI for wheel files, analyzes them, and stores & displays the

results.  The site allows users to view the complete metadata inside wheels,

search for wheels containing a given Python module or file, browse or search

for wheels that define a given command or other entry point, and even find out

projects' reverse dependencies.

Note that, in order to save disk space, Wheelodex only records data on wheels

from the latest version of each PyPI project; wheels from older versions are

periodically purged from the database.  Projects' long descriptions aren't even

recorded at all.

Suggestions and pull requests are welcome.
