pythonwheels: Upload failed (400): Binary wheel for an unsupported platform

Hi, I followed the instructions on the website (pip install wheel, universal=1 in setup.cfg) but when I tried uploading to pypi with: python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel upload I got the following output:

[...]

This is the first time I have tried using wheel, does anyone know what the issue is? This is the setup.py I was using: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/np1/mps/master/setup.py

I found the answer by going through the issue list on Bitbucket. It’s marked as resolved although I consider it a bug! https://bitbucket.org/pypa/wheel/issue/65/distributions-without-any-modules-are

When no modules or packages are specified in setup.py (I only have a script specified in mine), it creates a platform specific wheel.

I tested by creating a dummy .py module and specifying it withpy_modules=['dummy.py'] in setup.py and it succesfully created dist/mps-0.20.14-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Since most projects will have modules or packages specified I guess it’s not a big problem. I will change my setup.py to use entry_points['console_scripts'] instead of the scripts=['mps'] entry

@todofixthis I’m sorry, this isn’t the right place to search for assistance on this issue. As @ghickman explained in the first comment here, this site is informational. Specifically, it’s a graphic that visualises wheel support in the 360 most downloaded packages on PyPI.

I’m sure the folks at TravisCI will be able to help you better understand the issue, but if not, as @ghickman said, you should be able to also get assistance at the official wheel repo: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/wheel or the #pypa channel on freenode (IRC) where the developers of the spec and tools are around to lend a hand.
