Is it able to install dependencies through local .whl file instead of fetching it from the Internet and build it locally?

Well, some dependencies are hard to build on the computer (especially windows) since it requires MSVC and specific C include files, so it would be helpful to use local .whl file instead of building it on the computer. However I cannot find such description in the docs, so is it able to install package through local .whl file instead of fetching it from the Internet and build it locally?

Yes it's possible. You should be able to register a file:/// path with a find-links type index.

I also have this use-case. I'm afraid, despite your answer, I still don't know how I'd go about doing this. I looked at the docs (https://rye-up.com/guide/sources/#index-authentication) but I still don't know how to do it.

You add a new index to your pyproject.toml like this:

[[sources]]
name = "a-name"
url = "file:///path/to/your/stuff"

and then that folder is considered for resolution

Much appreciated, I'll give it a try 😃

Also, thank you for your work on this. Only got started with it yesterday but I'm already really impressed!

Ah, I don't think it will work. It's not a normal python project, all I have is a .whl, so I get this error:
