whl_library

A rule for importing .whl dependencies into Bazel.

This rule is currently used to implement pip_import. It is not intended to work standalone, and the interface may change. See pip_import for proper usage.

This rule imports a .whl file as a py_library:

whl_library(
    name = "foo",
    whl = ":my-whl-file",
    requirements = "name of pip_import rule",
)

This rule defines @foo//:pkg as a py_library target.
