Upload wheels to PyPI

[johnthagen]

Wheels (.whl) for this package are currently missing from PyPI. Could wheels be uploaded for the current and future releases?

Read more about the advantages of wheels to understand why generating wheel distributions are important.

To create a wheel along with source distribution:

(venv) $ pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
(venv) $ python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

# See dist/*.whl

To upload wheels:

(venv) $ pip install twine
(venv) $ twine upload dist/*

Talking about PyPI, I noticed that the package code on PyPI appears to be outdated. I suppose it would be most suitable to report it here as a comment to another PyPI-related issue. The details of this problem is as follows:

When one downloads the package files from PyPI (here) and extracts them, it appears that the Django app code is still in 3.1.5 (e.g. dbbackup/management/commands/dbbackup.py still lacks the -x option). Note that dbbackup\__init__.py claims otherwise: it says the version is 3.3.0. When installed via pip, pip would report the version as 3.3.0, but when the app gets registered to a Django project, the version is reported to be 3.1.5 when python manage.py dbbackup --version is run.

I suppose the community would be very grateful if the package files on PyPI could be updated soon.

@jonathan-s Is this something you are able to look into? Not sure who exactly has PyPI permissions.
