Installation

pipx install pip-wheel-diff

Usage

Imagine you have to review a pull request with a diff like this in requirements.txt.

How do you verify the change is what you expect?

To answer this question, you can run pip-wheel-diff with two pip requirements as arguments. It will download or build the wheels, unzip them, clean them up a little bit for comparability and run a diff tool to compare them.

Example:

pip-wheel-diff \
  "odoo-addon-stock-release-channel @ git+https://github.com/acsone/wms.git@ede1d6f9aa16cae535d650da3191bb6a6d86f793#subdirectory=setup/stock_release_channel" \
  "odoo-addon-stock-release-channel==16.0.2.6.5"

It tries to find a diff tool in the following order:

• meld
• diff -r

It currently uses the uv or pip executable found in path to download or build.
