Python Wheel Inspector
Reads a Python wheel’s METADATA file directly — name, version, license, dependencies and classifiers — without needing to pip install it first.
Drop a .whl file here, or click to choose one

When you'd use this
- Checking what a Python .whl package actually contains before installing it
- Reviewing a wheel's metadata and dependencies
- Investigating a package's contents before publishing it to PyPI
Read-only. Wheels are zip archives containing a <package>-<version>.dist-info/METADATA file in a plain, RFC 822 (email-header-style) format — this reads it directly.
