Build Python Action

This action builds Python wheels and source distribution for a Python package.

Here is an example demonstrating how to use it in a workflow:

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Build wheels
        uses: frequenz-floss/gh-action-build-python@v0.x.x
        with:
          python_version: "3.11"

Inputs

• python_version: The Python version to use. Required.

  This is passed to the actions/setup-python action.

• outdir: The directory where the built packages will be placed.

Security

This action runs python -I -m build, which causes Python build tooling to load and execute repository-controlled build configuration from the checked-out repository.

Only use this action with trusted, already-merged code, such as workflows triggered by push on protected branches or release tags. Do not use this action with pull_request_target.

When you use this action, you are also trusting these external GitHub Actions:

• frequenz-floss/gh-action-setup-python-with-deps, which this action runs to install Python and the requested Python packages.
