Comment #6 on issue 1674 by pekka.klarck: Support for creating `wheel` distributions
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1674

Unfortunately the wheel we uploaded to PyPI breaks installation using pip on Windows. The reason is that our setup.py controls which start-up scripts to create depending on the operating system and interpreter (pybot/rebot, jybot/jyrebot, pybot.bat/rebot.bat, jybot.bat/jyrebot.bat, ipybot.bat/ipyrebot.bat) and with wheels setup.py is not executed. As a result you get non-functioning pybot/rebot on Windows.

As a result we have decided to remove the wheel from PyPI at this point and take a new look at publishing them in RF 2.9 (issue 1734).

If you want to get a wheel now, you can create them by following these instructions:

1) Checkout project source code.
2) Update to 2.8.5 tag by running `hg up 2.8.5`.
3) Create wheel by running `python setup.py bdist_wheel`.

Alternatively:

1) Download source distribution from PyPI.
2) Extract the package and go to it on the command line.
3) Create wheel by running `python setup.py bdist_wheel`.
