Hi, this PR is a minor documentation fix – I was just reading through the section "Including/excluding files in the SDist" in the Classic Packaging guide and this point caught my eye: this section talks about the procedure used to install a package via the invocation of the
pip install .
command: it incorrectly refers to the wheel as being a.tar.gz
file while it isn't – it is fairly and commonly known that it is a.zip
file.I have mentioned the correct file extension for the wheel and added a note about the SDist being in a sentence above, correctly reporting so that it can be known that the difference exists. I don't think that the incorrect documentation misguides anyone at this moment, but it's good to be correct considering the veracity of the guide since its inception.
