I'm very new to setuptools
, build
, and their ancillary tools and libraries. My understanding is that a lot of the distribution workflows are articulated around pip, tarballs, wheels, and the likes.
But what I'm trying to do is to stop after creating the package, I don't want to create the tarball nor wheel. Also, I want to keep the package directory that was created. This is for testing development code in DCCs such as Maya via rapid iteration.
I didn't see any option to do that with python -m build
. It's all or nothing. Or perhaps I'm not looking at the right tool?
