## Setting options
cibuildwheel is configured using environment variables that can be set using
your CI config.
For example, to configure cibuildwheel to run tests, add the following YAML to
your CI config file:
!!! tab "GitHub Actions"
> .github/workflows/*.yml ([docs](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/using-environment-variables)) (can be global, in job, or in step)
```yaml
env:
CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES: pytest
CIBW_TEST_COMMAND: "pytest {project}/tests"
```
!!! tab "Azure Pipelines"
> azure-pipelines.yml ([docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/variables))
```yaml
variables:
CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES: pytest
CIBW_TEST_COMMAND: "pytest {project}/tests"
```
!!! tab "Travis CI"
> .travis.yml ([docs](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/environment-variables/))
```yaml
env:
global:
- CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES=pytest
- CIBW_TEST_COMMAND="pytest {project}/tests"
```
!!! tab "AppVeyor"
> appveyor.yml ([docs](https://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-configuration/#environment-variables))
```yaml
environment:
global:
CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES: pytest
CIBW_TEST_COMMAND: "pytest {project}\\tests"
```
!!! tab "CircleCI"

## Build selection
### `CIBW_PLATFORM` {: #platform}
> Override the auto-detected target platform
Options: `auto` `linux` `macos` `windows`
Default: `auto`
`auto` will auto-detect platform using environment variables, such as `TRAVIS_OS_NAME`/`APPVEYOR`/`CIRCLECI`.
- For `linux`, you need Docker running, on macOS or Linux.
- For `macos`, you need a Mac machine. Note that cibuildwheel is going to install MacPython on your system, so you probably don't want to run this on your development machine.
- For `windows`, you need to run in Windows. cibuildwheel will install required versions of Python to `C:\cibw\python` using NuGet.
This option can also be set using the [command-line option](#command-line) `--platform`.
!!! tip
If you have Docker installed, you can locally debug your cibuildwheel Linux config, instead of pushing to CI to test every change. For example:
```bash
export CIBW_BUILD='cp37-*'
export CIBW_TEST_COMMAND='pytest {package}/tests'
cibuildwheel --platform linux .
```
### `CIBW_BUILD`, `CIBW_SKIP` {: #build-skip}
> Choose the Python versions to build
Space-separated list of builds to build and skip. Each build has an identifier like `cp27-manylinux_x86_64` or `cp35-macosx_x86_64` - you can list specific ones to build and cibuildwheel will only build those, and/or list ones to skip and cibuildwheel won't try to build them.
When both options are specified, both conditions are applied and only builds with a tag that matches `CIBW_BUILD` and does not match `CIBW_SKIP` will be built.
When setting the options, you can use shell-style globbing syntax, as per [fnmatch](https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html) with the addition of curly bracket syntax `{option1,option2}`, provided by [bracex](https://pypi.org/project/bracex/). All the build identifiers supported by cibuildwheel are shown below:
<div class="build-id-table-marker"></div>
| | macOS | Windows | Manylinux Intel | Manylinux Other |
|--------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| PyPy2.7 v7.3 | pp27-macosx_x86_64 | pp27-win32 | pp27-manylinux_x86_64 | |
| PyPy3.6 v7.3 | pp36-macosx_x86_64 | pp36-win32 | pp36-manylinux_x86_64 | |
| PyPy3.7 v7.3 | pp37-macosx_x86_64 | pp37-win32 | pp37-manylinux_x86_64 | |
The list of supported and currently selected build identifiers can also be retrieved by passing the `--print-build-identifiers` flag to cibuildwheel.
The format is `python_tag-platform_tag`, with tags similar to those in [PEP 425](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0425/#details).
For CPython, the minimally supported macOS version is 10.9; for PyPy 2.7 and PyPy 3.6/3.7, respectively macOS 10.7 and 10.13 or higher is required.
#### Examples
```yaml
# Only build on Python 3.6
CIBW_BUILD: cp36-*
# Skip building on Python 2.7 on the Mac
CIBW_SKIP: cp27-macosx_x86_64
# Skip building on Python 3.8 on the Mac
CIBW_SKIP: cp38-macosx_x86_64
# Skip building on Python 2.7 on all platforms
CIBW_SKIP: cp27-*
# Skip Python 2.7 on Windows
CIBW_SKIP: cp27-win*
# Skip Python 2.7 on 32-bit Windows

### `CIBW_ARCHS` {: #archs}
> Change the architectures built on your machine by default.
A space-separated list of architectures to build.
On macOS, this option can be used to cross-compile between `x86_64`,
`universal2` and `arm64` for Apple Silicon support.
On Linux, this option can be used to build non-native architectures under
emulation. See [this guide](faq.md#emulation) for more information.
Options:
- Linux: `x86_64` `i686` `aarch64` `ppc64le` `s390x`
- macOS: `x86_64` `arm64` `universal2`
- Windows: `AMD64` `x86`
- `auto`: The default archs for your machine - see the table below.
- `auto64`: Just the 64-bit auto archs
- `auto32`: Just the 32-bit auto archs
- `native`: the native arch of the build machine - Matches [`platform.machine()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/platform.html#platform.machine).
- `all` : expands to all the architectures supported on this OS. You may want
to use [CIBW_BUILD](#build-skip) with this option to target specific
architectures via build selectors.
Default: `auto`
| Runner | `native` | `auto` | `auto64` | `auto32` |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linux / Intel | `x86_64` | `x86_64` `i686` | `x86_64` | `i686` |
| Windows / Intel | `AMD64` | `AMD64` `x86` | `AMD64` | `x86` |
| macOS / Intel | `x86_64` | `x86_64` | `x86_64` | |
| macOS / Apple Silicon | `arm64` | `arm64` `universal2` | `arm64` `universal2`| |
If not listed above, `auto` is the same as `native`.
[setup-qemu-action]: https://github.com/docker/setup-qemu-action
[binfmt]: https://hub.docker.com/r/tonistiigi/binfmt
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_ARCHS_MACOS` | `CIBW_ARCHS_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_ARCHS_LINUX`
This option can also be set using the [command-line option](#command-line) `--archs`.
#### Examples
```yaml
# Build `universal2` and `arm64` wheels on an Intel runner.
# Note that the `arm64` wheel and the `arm64` part of the `universal2`
# wheel cannot be tested in this configuration.
CIBW_ARCHS_MACOS: "x86_64 universal2 arm64"
# On an Linux Intel runner with qemu installed, build Intel and ARM wheels
CIBW_ARCHS_LINUX: "auto aarch64"
```
### `CIBW_PROJECT_REQUIRES_PYTHON` {: #requires-python}
> Manually set the Python compatibility of your project
By default, cibuildwheel reads your package's Python compatibility from
`pyproject.toml` following [PEP621](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0621/)
or from `setup.cfg`; finally it will try to inspect the AST of `setup.py` for a
simple keyword assignment in a top level function call. If you need to override
this behaviour for some reason, you can use this option.
When setting this option, the syntax is the same as `project.requires-python`,
using 'version specifiers' like `>=3.6`, according to
[PEP440](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#version-specifiers).
Default: reads your package's Python compatibility from `pyproject.toml`
(`project.requires-python`) or `setup.cfg` (`options.python_requires`) or
`setup.py` `setup(python_requires="...")`. If not found, cibuildwheel assumes
the package is compatible with all versions of Python that it can build.
!!! note
Rather than using this option, it's recommended you set
`project.requires-python` in `pyproject.toml` instead:
Example `pyproject.toml`:
[project]
requires-python = ">=3.6"
# Aside - in pyproject.toml you should always specify minimal build
# system options, like this:
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=42", "wheel"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
Currently, setuptools has not yet added support for reading this value from
pyproject.toml yet, and so does not copy it to Requires-Python in the wheel
metadata. This mechanism is used by pip to scan through older versions of
your package until it finds a release compatible with the current version
of Python compatible when installing, so it is an important value to set if
you plan to drop support for a version of Python in the future.
If you don't want to list this value twice, you can also use the setuptools
specific location in `setup.cfg` and cibuildwheel will detect it from
there. Example `setup.cfg`:
[options]
python_requires = ">=3.6"
#### Examples
```yaml
CIBW_PROJECT_REQUIRES_PYTHON: ">=3.6"
```
## Build customization
### `CIBW_ENVIRONMENT` {: #environment}
> Set environment variables needed during the build
A space-separated list of environment variables to set during the build. Bash syntax should be used, even on Windows.
You must set this variable to pass variables to Linux builds (since they execute in a Docker container). It also works for the other platforms.
You can use `$PATH` syntax to insert other variables, or the `$(pwd)` syntax to insert the output of other shell commands.
To specify more than one environment variable, separate the assignments by spaces.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_ENVIRONMENT_MACOS` | `CIBW_ENVIRONMENT_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_ENVIRONMENT_LINUX`
#### Examples
```yaml
# Set some compiler flags
CIBW_ENVIRONMENT: "CFLAGS='-g -Wall' CXXFLAGS='-Wall'"
# Append a directory to the PATH variable (this is expanded in the build environment)
CIBW_ENVIRONMENT: "PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin"
# Set BUILD_TIME to the output of the `date` command
CIBW_ENVIRONMENT: "BUILD_TIME=$(date)"
# Supply options to `pip` to affect how it downloads dependencies
CIBW_ENVIRONMENT: "PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL=https://pypi.myorg.com/simple"
# Set two flags
CIBW_ENVIRONMENT: "BUILD_TIME=$(date) SAMPLE_TEXT=\"sample text\""
```
!!! note
cibuildwheel always defines the environment variable `CIBUILDWHEEL=1`. This can be useful for [building wheels with optional extensions](faq.md#building-packages-with-optional-c-extensions).
### `CIBW_BEFORE_ALL` {: #before-all}
> Execute a shell command on the build system before any wheels are built.
Shell command to prepare a common part of the project (e.g. build or install libraries which does not depend on the specific version of Python).
This option is very useful for the Linux build, where builds take place in isolated Docker containers managed by cibuildwheel. This command will run inside the container before the wheel builds start. Note, if you're building both x86_64 and i686 wheels (the default), your build uses two different Docker images. In that case, this command will execute twice - once per build container.
The placeholder `{package}` can be used here; it will be replaced by the path to the package being built by cibuildwheel.
On Windows and macOS, the version of Python available inside `CIBW_BEFORE_ALL` is whatever is available on the host machine. On Linux, a modern Python version is available on PATH.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_BEFORE_ALL_MACOS` | `CIBW_BEFORE_ALL_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_BEFORE_ALL_LINUX`
#### Examples
```yaml
# build third party library
CIBW_BEFORE_ALL: make -C third_party_lib
# install system library
CIBW_BEFORE_ALL_LINUX: yum install -y libffi-dev
```
Note that manylinux2_24 builds occur inside a Debian9 docker, where
manylinux2010 and manylinux2014 builds occur inside a CentOS one. So for
`manylinux2_24` the `CIBW_BEFORE_ALL_LINUX` command must use `apt-get -y`
instead.
### `CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD` {: #before-build}
> Execute a shell command preparing each wheel's build
A shell command to run before building the wheel. This option allows you to run a command in **each** Python environment before the `pip wheel` command. This is useful if you need to set up some dependency so it's available during the build.
If dependencies are required to build your wheel (for example if you include a header from a Python module), instead of using this command, we recommend adding requirements to a pyproject.toml file. This is reproducible, and users who do not get your wheels (such as Alpine or ClearLinux users) will still benefit.
The active Python binary can be accessed using `python`, and pip with `pip`; cibuildwheel makes sure the right version of Python and pip will be executed. The placeholder `{package}` can be used here; it will be replaced by the path to the package being built by cibuildwheel.
The command is run in a shell, so you can write things like `cmd1 && cmd2`.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD_MACOS` | `CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD_LINUX`
#### Examples
```yaml
# install something required for the build (you might want to use pyproject.toml instead)
CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD: pip install pybind11
# chain commands using &&
CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD_LINUX: yum install -y libffi-dev && make clean
# run a script that's inside your project
CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD: bash scripts/prepare_for_build.sh
# if cibuildwheel is called with a package_dir argument, it's available as {package}
CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD: "{package}/script/prepare_for_build.sh"
```
!!! note
If you need dependencies installed for the build, we recommend using
`pyproject.toml`. This is an example `pyproject.toml` file:
[build-system]
requires = [
"setuptools>=42",
"wheel",
"Cython",
"numpy==1.13.3; python_version<'3.5'",
"oldest-supported-numpy; python_version>='3.5'",
]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
This [PEP 517][]/[PEP 518][] style build allows you to completely control
the build environment in cibuildwheel, [PyPA-build][], and pip, doesn't
force downstream users to install anything they don't need, and lets you do
more complex pinning (Cython, for example, requires a wheel to be built
with an equal or earlier version of NumPy; pinning in this way is the only
way to ensure your module works on all available NumPy versions).
[PyPA-build]: https://pypa-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
[PEP 517]: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/
[PEP 518]: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/
### `CIBW_REPAIR_WHEEL_COMMAND` {: #repair-wheel-command}
> Execute a shell command to repair each (non-pure Python) built wheel
Default:
- on Linux: `'auditwheel repair -w {dest_dir} {wheel}'`
- on macOS: `'delocate-listdeps {wheel} && delocate-wheel --require-archs {delocate_archs} -w {dest_dir} {wheel}'`
- on Windows: `''`
A shell command to repair a built wheel by copying external library dependencies into the wheel tree and relinking them.
The command is run on each built wheel (except for pure Python ones) before testing it.
The following placeholders must be used inside the command and will be replaced by cibuildwheel:
- `{wheel}` for the absolute path to the built wheel
- `{dest_dir}` for the absolute path of the directory where to create the repaired wheel
- `{delocate_archs}` (macOS only) comma-separated list of architectures in the wheel.
The command is run in a shell, so you can run multiple commands like `cmd1 && cmd2`.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_REPAIR_WHEEL_COMMAND_MACOS` | `CIBW_REPAIR_WHEEL_COMMAND_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_REPAIR_WHEEL_COMMAND_LINUX`
!!! tip
cibuildwheel doesn't yet ship a default repair command for Windows.
**If that's an issue for you, check out [delvewheel]** - a new package that aims to do the same as auditwheel or delocate for Windows.
Because delvewheel is still relatively early-stage, cibuildwheel does not yet run it by default. However, we'd recommend giving it a try! See the examples below for usage.
[Delvewheel]: https://github.com/adang1345/delvewheel
#### Examples
```yaml
# use delvewheel on windows (only works on Python 3.6+)
CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD_WINDOWS: "pip install delvewheel"
CIBW_REPAIR_WHEEL_COMMAND_WINDOWS: "delvewheel repair -w {dest_dir} {wheel}"
# don't repair macOS wheels
CIBW_REPAIR_WHEEL_COMMAND_MACOS: ""
# pass the `--lib-sdir .` flag to auditwheel on Linux
CIBW_REPAIR_WHEEL_COMMAND_LINUX: "auditwheel repair --lib-sdir . -w {dest_dir} {wheel}"
```
### CIBW_MANYLINUX_*_IMAGE {: #manylinux-image}
> Specify alternative manylinux Docker images
The available options are:
- `CIBW_MANYLINUX_X86_64_IMAGE`
- `CIBW_MANYLINUX_I686_IMAGE`
- `CIBW_MANYLINUX_PYPY_X86_64_IMAGE`
- `CIBW_MANYLINUX_AARCH64_IMAGE`
- `CIBW_MANYLINUX_PPC64LE_IMAGE`
- `CIBW_MANYLINUX_S390X_IMAGE`
Set an alternative Docker image to be used for building [manylinux](https://github.com/pypa/manylinux) wheels. cibuildwheel will then pull these instead of the default images, [`quay.io/pypa/manylinux2010_x86_64`](https://quay.io/pypa/manylinux2010_x86_64), [`quay.io/pypa/manylinux2010_i686`](https://quay.io/pypa/manylinux2010_i686), [`pypywheels/manylinux2010-pypy_x86_64`](https://hub.docker.com/r/pypywheels/manylinux2010-pypy_x86_64), [`quay.io/pypa/manylinux2014_aarch64`](https://quay.io/pypa/manylinux2014_aarch64), [`quay.io/pypa/manylinux2014_ppc64le`](https://quay.io/pypa/manylinux2014_ppc64le), and [`quay.io/pypa/manylinux2014_s390x`](https://quay.io/pypa/manylinux2010_s390x).
The value of this option can either be set to `manylinux1`, `manylinux2010`, `manylinux2014` or `manylinux_2_24` to use a pinned version of the [official manylinux images](https://github.com/pypa/manylinux) and [PyPy manylinux images](https://github.com/pypy/manylinux). Alternatively, set these options to any other valid Docker image name. For PyPy, only the official `manylinux2010` image is currently available. For architectures other
than x86 (x86\_64 and i686) `manylinux2014` or `manylinux_2_24` must be used, because the first version of the manylinux specification that supports additional architectures is `manylinux2014`.
Note that `manylinux2014`/`manylinux_2_24` don't support builds with Python 2.7 - when building with `manylinux2014`/`manylinux_2_24`, skip Python 2.7 using `CIBW_SKIP` (see example below).
If setting a custom Docker image, you'll need to make sure it can be used in the same way as the official, default Docker images: all necessary Python and pip versions need to be present in `/opt/python/`, and the auditwheel tool needs to be present for cibuildwheel to work. Apart from that, the architecture and relevant shared system libraries need to be compatible to the relevant standard to produce valid manylinux1/manylinux2010/manylinux2014/manylinux_2_24 wheels (see [pypa/manylinux on GitHub](https://github.com/pypa/manylinux), [PEP 513](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/), [PEP 571](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0571/), [PEP 599](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0599/) and [PEP 600](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0600/) for more details).
Auditwheel detects the version of the manylinux standard in the Docker image through the `AUDITWHEEL_PLAT` environment variable, as cibuildwheel has no way of detecting the correct `--plat` command line argument to pass to auditwheel for a custom image. If a Docker image does not correctly set this `AUDITWHEEL_PLAT` environment variable, the `CIBW_ENVIRONMENT` option can be used to do so (e.g., `CIBW_ENVIRONMENT='AUDITWHEEL_PLAT="manylinux2010_$(uname -m)"'`).
#### Examples
```yaml
# build using the manylinux1 image to ensure manylinux1 wheels are produced
# skip PyPy, since there is no PyPy manylinux1 image
CIBW_MANYLINUX_X86_64_IMAGE: manylinux1
CIBW_MANYLINUX_I686_IMAGE: manylinux1
CIBW_SKIP: pp*
# build using the manylinux2014 image
CIBW_MANYLINUX_X86_64_IMAGE: manylinux2014
CIBW_MANYLINUX_I686_IMAGE: manylinux2014
CIBW_SKIP: cp27-manylinux*
# build using the latest manylinux2010 release, instead of the cibuildwheel
# pinned version
CIBW_MANYLINUX_X86_64_IMAGE: quay.io/pypa/manylinux2010_x86_64:latest
CIBW_MANYLINUX_I686_IMAGE: quay.io/pypa/manylinux2010_i686:latest
# build using a different image from the docker registry
CIBW_MANYLINUX_X86_64_IMAGE: dockcross/manylinux-x64
CIBW_MANYLINUX_I686_IMAGE: dockcross/manylinux-x86
```
### `CIBW_DEPENDENCY_VERSIONS` {: #dependency-versions}
> Specify how cibuildwheel controls the versions of the tools it uses
Options: `pinned` `latest` `<your constraints file>`
Default: `pinned`
If `CIBW_DEPENDENCY_VERSIONS` is `pinned`, cibuildwheel uses versions of tools
like `pip`, `setuptools`, `virtualenv` that were pinned with that release of
cibuildwheel. This represents a known-good set of dependencies, and is
recommended for build repeatability.
If set to `latest`, cibuildwheel will use the latest of these packages that
are available on PyPI. This might be preferable if these packages have bug
fixes that can't wait for a new cibuildwheel release.
To control the versions of dependencies yourself, you can supply a [pip
constraints](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#constraints-files) file
here and it will be used instead.
!!! note
If you need different dependencies for each python version, provide them
in the same folder with a `-pythonXY` suffix. e.g. if your
`CIBW_DEPENDENCY_VERSIONS=./constraints.txt`, cibuildwheel will use
`./constraints-python27.txt` on Python 2.7, or fallback to
`./constraints.txt` if that's not found.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_DEPENDENCY_VERSIONS_MACOS` | `CIBW_DEPENDENCY_VERSIONS_WINDOWS`
!!! note
This option does not affect the tools used on the Linux build - those versions
are bundled with the manylinux image that cibuildwheel uses. To change
dependency versions on Linux, use the [CIBW_MANYLINUX_*](#manylinux-image)
options.
#### Examples
```yaml
# use tools versions that are bundled with cibuildwheel (this is the default)
CIBW_DEPENDENCY_VERSIONS: pinned
# use the latest versions available on PyPI
CIBW_DEPENDENCY_VERSIONS: latest
# use your own pip constraints file
CIBW_DEPENDENCY_VERSIONS: ./constraints.txt
```
## Testing
### `CIBW_TEST_COMMAND` {: #test-command}
> Execute a shell command to test each built wheel
Shell command to run tests after the build. The wheel will be installed
automatically and available for import from the tests. To ensure the wheel is
imported by your tests (instead of your source copy), **tests are not run from
your project directory**. Use the placeholders `{project}` and `{package}` when
specifying paths in your project. If this variable is not set, your wheel will
not be installed after building.
- `{project}` is an absolute path to the project root - the working directory
where cibuildwheel was called.
- `{package}` is the path to the package being built - the `package_dir`
argument supplied to cibuildwheel on the command line.
The command is run in a shell, so you can write things like `cmd1 && cmd2`.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_TEST_COMMAND_MACOS` | `CIBW_TEST_COMMAND_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_TEST_COMMAND_LINUX`
#### Examples
```yaml
# run the project tests against the installed wheel using `nose`
CIBW_TEST_COMMAND: nosetests {project}/tests
# run the package tests using `pytest`
CIBW_TEST_COMMAND: pytest {package}/tests
# trigger an install of the package, but run nothing of note
CIBW_TEST_COMMAND: "echo Wheel installed"
```
### `CIBW_BEFORE_TEST` {: #before-test}
> Execute a shell command before testing each wheel
A shell command to run in **each** test virtual environment, before your wheel is installed and tested. This is useful if you need to install a non-pip package, invoke pip with different environment variables,
or perform a multi-step pip installation (e.g. installing scikit-build or Cython before installing test package).
The active Python binary can be accessed using `python`, and pip with `pip`; cibuildwheel makes sure the right version of Python and pip will be executed. The placeholder `{package}` can be used here; it will be replaced by the path to the package being built by cibuildwheel.
The command is run in a shell, so you can write things like `cmd1 && cmd2`.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_BEFORE_TEST_MACOS` | `CIBW_BEFORE_TEST_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_BEFORE_TEST_LINUX`
#### Examples
```yaml
# install test dependencies with overwritten environment variables.
CIBW_BEFORE_TEST: CC=gcc CXX=g++ pip install -r requirements.txt
# chain commands using &&
CIBW_BEFORE_TEST: rm -rf ./data/cache && mkdir -p ./data/cache
# install non pip python package
CIBW_BEFORE_TEST: cd some_dir; ./configure; make; make install
# install python packages that are required to install test dependencies
CIBW_BEFORE_TEST: pip install cmake scikit-build
```
### `CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES` {: #test-requires}
> Install Python dependencies before running the tests
Space-separated list of dependencies required for running the tests.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES_MACOS` | `CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES_LINUX`
#### Examples
```yaml
# install pytest before running CIBW_TEST_COMMAND
CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES: pytest
# install specific versions of test dependencies
CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES: nose==1.3.7 moto==0.4.31
```
### `CIBW_TEST_EXTRAS` {: #test-extras}
> Install your wheel for testing using `extras_require`
Comma-separated list of
[extras_require](https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#declaring-extras-optional-features-with-their-own-dependencies)
options that should be included when installing the wheel prior to running the
tests. This can be used to avoid having to redefine test dependencies in
`CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES` if they are already defined in `setup.py` or
`setup.cfg`.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_TEST_EXTRAS_MACOS` | `CIBW_TEST_EXTRAS_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_TEST_EXTRAS_LINUX`
#### Examples
```yaml
# will cause the wheel to be installed with `pip install <wheel_file>[test,qt]`
CIBW_TEST_EXTRAS: test,qt
```
### `CIBW_TEST_SKIP` {: #test-skip}
> Skip running tests on some builds
This will skip testing on any identifiers that match the given skip patterns (see [`CIBW_SKIP`](#build-skip)). This can be used to mask out tests for wheels that have missing dependencies upstream that are slow or hard to build, or to skip slow tests on emulated architectures.
With macOS `universal2` wheels, you can also skip the the individual archs inside the wheel using an `:arch` suffix. For example, `cp39-macosx_universal2:x86_64` or `cp39-macosx_universal2:arm64`.
#### Examples
```yaml
# Will avoid testing on emulated architectures
CIBW_TEST_SKIP: "*-manylinux_{aarch64,ppc64le,s390x}"
# Skip trying to test arm64 builds on Intel Macs
CIBW_TEST_SKIP: "*-macosx_arm64 *-macosx_universal2:arm64"
```
## Other
### `CIBW_BUILD_VERBOSITY` {: #build-verbosity}
> Increase/decrease the output of pip wheel
An number from 1 to 3 to increase the level of verbosity (corresponding to invoking pip with `-v`, `-vv`, and `-vvv`), between -1 and -3 (`-q`, `-qq`, and `-qqq`), or just 0 (default verbosity). These flags are useful while debugging a build when the output of the actual build invoked by `pip wheel` is required.
Platform-specific variants also available:<br/>
`CIBW_BUILD_VERBOSITY_MACOS` | `CIBW_BUILD_VERBOSITY_WINDOWS` | `CIBW_BUILD_VERBOSITY_LINUX`
#### Examples
```yaml
# increase pip debugging output
CIBW_BUILD_VERBOSITY: 1
```
## Command line options {: #command-line}
```text
usage: cibuildwheel [-h] [--platform {auto,linux,macos,windows}]
[--archs ARCHS] [--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR]
[--print-build-identifiers] [--allow-empty]
[package_dir]
Build wheels for all the platforms.
positional arguments:
package_dir Path to the package that you want wheels for. Must be
a subdirectory of the working directory. When set, the
working directory is still considered the 'project'
and is copied into the Docker container on Linux.
Default: the working directory.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--platform {auto,linux,macos,windows}
Platform to build for. For "linux" you need docker
running, on Mac or Linux. For "macos", you need a Mac
machine, and note that this script is going to
automatically install MacPython on your system, so
don't run on your development machine. For "windows",
you need to run in Windows, and it will build and test
for all versions of Python. Default: auto.
--archs ARCHS Comma-separated list of CPU architectures to build
for. When set to 'auto', builds the architectures
natively supported on this machine. Set this option to
build an architecture via emulation, for example,
using binfmt_misc and QEMU. Default: auto. Choices:
auto, native, all, x86_64, i686, aarch64, ppc64le,
s390x, x86, AMD64
--output-dir OUTPUT_DIR
Destination folder for the wheels.
--print-build-identifiers
Print the build identifiers matched by the current
invocation and exit.
--allow-empty Do not report an error code if the build does not
match any wheels.
