I am writing a project that requires pygame.
I've installed pygame in python following the instructions from the pygame wiki.
pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
I would like to add pygame to the wheel directory that I am creating. I am attempting to do this with the command
pip wheel --wheel-dir=wheels/linux64 pygame
I have tried adding in the --no-index, --find-links=https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame, --allow-unverified pygame, --allow-external pygame options.
The output is always something along the lines of not finding a package that satifies the requirement pygame.
Downloading/unpacking pygame
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pygame
Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external pygame to allow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for pygame
Storing debug log for failure in /home/eric/.pip/pip.log
How can I wheel my local version of pygame and add it to my wheel directory?
You need to point pip to the source dir in order to make a wheel. For example:
$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
...
...
$ pip wheel pygame/

You cannot create wheel from installed module since it's missing the install instructions part (setup.py). For more info check wheel's usage instructions.
