+# PyPI Wheel Distribution (Kingfisher CLI)
+
+This document describes how to package the Kingfisher Rust binary into
+platform-specific Python wheels so users can install and run `kingfisher` via
+`pip` or `uv`.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Python package is a thin wrapper that bundles the compiled Kingfisher binary
+inside `kingfisher/bin/` and exposes a `kingfisher` console entry point that
+executes it.
+
+Users can run it without installation via `uvx`:
+
+```bash
+uvx kingfisher-bin --help
+```
+
+## Build prerequisites
+
+1. Build the Kingfisher binary for your target platform (see
+   [INSTALLATION.md](INSTALLATION.md) for `make` targets).
+2. Install the Python build tooling:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install build
+```
+
+## Build a wheel
+
+Run the helper script from the repo root:
+
+```bash
+scripts/build-pypi-wheel.sh \
+  --binary ./path/to/kingfisher \
+  --version 1.2.3 \
+  --plat-name manylinux_2_17_x86_64
+```
+
+For Windows, pass the `.exe` binary and a Windows platform tag:
+
+```bash
+scripts/build-pypi-wheel.sh \
+  --binary .\\path\\to\\kingfisher.exe \
+  --version 1.2.3 \
+  --plat-name win_amd64
+```
+
+If you only build a Windows x64 binary, you can still ship a `win_arm64` wheel
+using the same executable (it runs under emulation on ARM64 Windows):
+
+```bash
+scripts/build-pypi-wheel.sh \
+  --binary .\\path\\to\\kingfisher.exe \
+  --version 1.2.3 \
+  --plat-name win_arm64
+```
+
+The resulting wheel will be placed in `dist-pypi/` by default.
+
+## Test locally
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install dist-pypi/kingfisher_bin-*.whl
+kingfisher --help
+```
+
+## Publish
+
+Upload the wheels to PyPI using `twine` (or your preferred tool):
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install twine
+python -m twine upload dist-pypi/*
+```
+
+### GitHub Actions (recommended)
+
+The repository includes a `pypi-wheels` workflow that:
+
+1. Downloads the release binaries.
+2. Builds platform-tagged wheels.
+3. Publishes them to PyPI using Trusted Publishing (OIDC).
+
+To use Trusted Publishing, create a PyPI project named `kingfisher-bin` and
+enable GitHub Actions as a trusted publisher for this repository and workflow.
+No API token is required once Trusted Publishing is configured.
+
+If you do not use Trusted Publishing, generate a PyPI API token and provide it
+to `twine` (for example via `TWINE_USERNAME=__token__` and
+`TWINE_PASSWORD=<pypi-token>`).

+# Kingfisher (Python wheel)
+
+This package ships the Kingfisher CLI as a platform-specific Python wheel.
+The `kingfisher` console script executes the bundled binary for your
+OS/architecture.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+pip install kingfisher-bin
+kingfisher --help
+```
+
+## Development
+
+Use the helper script in `scripts/build-pypi-wheel.sh` from the repo root to
+build a wheel for a specific target after compiling the Rust binary.
