RECORD check ?

[jschueller]

hi,
does it check for missing files in RECORD or the checksums in the RECORD file ?
from what I can read in the code, it only checks for the RECORD file being present

[jwodder]

check-wheel-contents assumes the wheel is at least valid as a wheel, so it doesn't compare RECORD against the wheel contents or care about checksums.

[jschueller]

would you consider adding it ? I can try to send a patch for this, as I'm manually building some wheels and need a tool to check for missing files in the RECORD

[jwodder]

I think checking wheel validity is outside the scope of this project.

[jschueller]

ok

@jschueller would you reconsider this? Pypi will now start rejecting wheels whose record files don't match. There is a simple cli tool added to the warehouse script which checks this condition. Maybe you could include that?

[jschueller]

the method that checks for the RECORD is actually in another file:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pypi/warehouse/refs/heads/main/warehouse/utils/wheel.py
the good news is that this is standalone
