They can be signed with pypi detached signatures already. It works now exactly as for sdist. The innovation was supposed to be in convenience for the signer, in allowing keys to be trusted per package and for a list of dependencies and the expected signing keys to be shared easily. Does anyone have a concise pure py3 s/mime implementation? On Feb 3, 2013 4:52 PM, "Vinay Sajip" <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

Likewise, I will look at the possibility of providing wheel support in distlib, once it has been accepted as a standard and the open issues (such as signature scheme) have been resolved.
