tox-wheel is a plugin that makes tox build and install a wheel instead of an sdist when installing a package into the test environment. Because it tests with the wheel, the actual distribution format, packaging omissions can be caught early, and installation time is shorter for packages with C extensions. Recent versions of tox provide similar functionality by default.
