We include vtk in Macports with an option to wrap python. This “standard” install includes the c++ libraries along with the python wrappers, but the .dist-info folder is not created or installed. When searching for a solution, I found vtk’s capability to perform a wheel build, which does create the .dist-info folder. However, a wheel build does not install the c++ libraries in a way that are usable outside of python. Might there be a straightforward way to create the .dist-info folder without using the wheel build?
