v0.0.7

0.0.7 - 2021-07-19

Changed

• Default compression method is now set to zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED.

• Wheels with directory entries in their RECORD files will now make
  WheelFile raise RecordContainsDirectoryError.

• Lazy mode is now allowed, in a very limited version - most methods will still
  raise exceptions, even when the documentation states that lazy mode
  suppresses them.

  Use it by specifying l in the mode argument, e.g.
  WheelFile("path/to/wheel", mode='rl'). This may be used to read wheels
  generated with previous version of wheelfile, which generated directory
  entries in RECORD, making them incompatible with this release.

• In anticipation of an actual implementation, WheelFile.open() raises
  NotImplementedError now, as it should. Previously only a def ...: pass
  stub was present.

Added

• Implemented WheelFile.namelist(), which, similarily to ZipFile.namelist(),
  returns a list of archive members, but omits the metadata files which should
  not be written manually: RECORD, WHEEL and METADATA.
• Added WheelFile.infolist(). Similarily to the namelist() above - it
  returns a ZipInfo for each member, but omits the ones corresponding to
  metadata files.
• RecordContainsDirectoryError exception class.
• distinfo_dirname and data_dirname properties, for easier browsing.

Fixed

• Wheel contents written using write(..., recursive=True) no longer contain
  entries corresponding to directories in their RECORD.
• Removed a bunch of cosmetic mistakes from exception messages.
