uv/crates/install-wheel-rs

Reimplementation of wheel installing in rust. Supports both classical venvs and monotrail.

There are simple python bindings:

from install_wheel_rs import LockedVenv

locked_venv = LockedVenv("path/to/.venv")
locked_venv.install_wheel("path/to/some_tagged_wheel.whl")

and there's only one function: install_wheels_venv(wheels: List[str], venv: str), where wheels is a list of paths to wheel files and venv is the location of the venv to install the packages in.

See monotrail for benchmarks.
