[tool.just-buildit]
command       = "make"        # optional — omit for zero-config src/{package}/ build
package       = "my_package"  # optional — package dir name when it differs from project name
editable_path = "src"         # optional — src root for fast .pth-file editable installs
repair        = "uvx ..."     # optional — auto-detected by platform, or false to skip
exclude = [                   # optional — glob patterns relative to $JUST_BUILDIT_OUTPUT_DIR

__pycache__/, *.pyc, and *.pyo are always excluded.

Wheel repair

just-buildit automatically runs the right repair tool for your platform:

Platform	Tool
Linux	`uvx auditwheel repair`
macOS	`uvx --from delocate delocate-wheel`
Windows / MinGW	`uvx delvewheel repair`

Override or disable repair in your config:

[tool.just-buildit]
command = "make"
repair = "uvx auditwheel repair --plat manylinux_2_28_x86_64"  # custom
# repair = false  # skip entirely

Editable installs

Set editable_path to the directory that should be added to sys.path:

[tool.just-buildit]
command       = "make"
editable_path = "src"

pip install -e . then installs a single .pth file pointing at src/ — no build command is run. Python finds your source directly. The C extension must be compiled in place once (e.g. make) before importing.

Without editable_path, pip install -e . falls back to a full wheel build.
