[dependabot]

Bumps wheel from 0.44.0 to 0.46.2.

Release notes

Sourced from wheel's releases.

0.46.2

• Restored the bdist_wheel command for compatibility with setuptools older than v70.1
• Importing wheel.bdist_wheel now emits a FutureWarning instead of a DeprecationWarning
• Fixed wheel unpack potentially altering the permissions of files outside of the destination tree with maliciously crafted wheels (CVE-2026-24049)

0.46.1

• Temporarily restored the wheel.macosx_libfile module (#659)

0.46.0

• Dropped support for Python 3.8
• Removed the bdist_wheel setuptools command implementation and entry point. The wheel.bdist_wheel module is now just an alias to setuptools.command.bdist_wheel, emitting a deprecation warning on import.
• Removed vendored packaging in favor of a run-time dependency on it
• Made the wheel.metadata module private (with a deprecation warning if it's imported
• Made the wheel.cli package private (no deprecation warning)
• Fixed an exception when calling the convert command with an empty description field

0.45.1

• Fixed pure Python wheels converted from eggs and wininst files having the ABI tag in the file name

0.45.0

• Refactored the convert command to not need setuptools to be installed

• Don't configure setuptools logging unless running bdist_wheel

• Added a redirection from wheel.bdist_wheel.bdist_wheel to setuptools.command.bdist_wheel.bdist_wheel to improve compatibility with setuptools' latest fixes.

  Projects are still advised to migrate away from the deprecated module and import the setuptools' implementation explicitly. (PR by @​abravalheri)

Fixed in 3a1966d by updating the pinned packaging dependency from 23.2 to 24.2 in requirements.dev.txt, which resolves the wheel==0.46.2 compatibility break in CI dependency resolution.
