Distributing Go binaries like sqlite-scanner through PyPI using go-to-wheel

Read Original

This technical article details a method for packaging and distributing Go binary applications, such as the sqlite-scanner CLI tool, through the Python Package Index (PyPI) using the go-to-wheel approach. It covers the benefits of cross-platform distribution via pip/uv, the structure of the resulting wheel files, and how the packaging system selects the correct binary for the user's OS and architecture.
