     • We no longer distribute wheels, because this prevents precompiling the Hy code during installation.
   • Create a new virtualenv and install the created package there for testing:
     • virtualenv tenv -p python3 && cd tenv && source ./bin/activate && pip install [source distribution file] && deactivate && source ./bin/activate && echo `type hy` && echo '(+ 1 1)' | hy -i
