Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'whey' ↓

cause whey is not installed.

fix

Run 'pip install whey'.

error AttributeError: module 'whey' has no attribute 'build' ↓

cause whey version < 0.1.0 might not expose build function directly.

fix

Upgrade to latest version: 'pip install --upgrade whey'.

gotcha whey is designed for simple projects; it may not handle complex build configurations (e.g., C extensions). ↓

fix Use build or setuptools directly for complex projects.

gotcha The library is not actively maintained; last release was in 2024. Check for alternatives if you need ongoing support. ↓

fix Consider using build (PyPA) or flit for actively maintained wheel building.

whey.build
```
from whey import build
```
No common wrong import; just import the module.

Build a wheel from your project directory. Replace 'path/to/your_project' with the actual path.

from whey import build
build('dist', 'path/to/your_project')
