build

Builds a package for distribution.

Under normal circumstances Rye automatically builds packages for local development. However if you want to publish packages you need to first build them into source distributions (sdist) and binary/portable distributions (wheel).

For more information see Building and Publishing.

Example

This builds wheels and source distributions at once:

$ rye build
building my-project
* Creating virtualenv isolated environment...
* Installing packages in isolated environment... (hatchling)
* Getting build dependencies for sdist...
* Building sdist...
* Building wheel from sdist
* Creating virtualenv isolated environment...
* Installing packages in isolated environment... (hatchling)
* Getting build dependencies for wheel...
* Building wheel...
Successfully built my_project-0.1.0.tar.gz and my_project-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

By default you will find the artifacts in the dist folder.
