comparision to twine

[gaborbernat]

Hello,

How is this different than twine check, should this be integrated into twine check?

twine check just checks whether your long description will render properly. check-wheel-contents checks that your wheel doesn't contain any *.pyc files; checks it doesn't contain any common toplevel names (tests, docs, src, etc.); checks that all toplevel objects are directories, Python modules, and/or *.pth files; optionally checks that the file tree in the wheel matches a local file tree; and other things (see the README for the full list). I wouldn't be opposed to having this integrated into twine check, but I don't know whether that's something the twine people would be interested in anyway. Some of the checks are a bit too opinion-based or conditional for something like twine, though, like the check for duplicate files (perfectly OK, just sometimes a sign something went wrong) or the check for modules without importable names (which can legitimately occur with alembic revision files whose hash starts with a digit).

Created issue upstream to check how much of this would be good to have there 😊
