Developer Publishes Go Binaries As Python Wheels

On 4 February 2026 Simon Willison released sqlite-scanner, a Go CLI that detects SQLite files, packaged as per-platform Python wheels on PyPI for pip/uvx installation. He also published go-to-wheel, a tool that automates building such wheels from Go projects and demonstrated integration via a datasette-scan plugin. The approach lets Python packages bundle and execute cross-platform Go binaries without local compilation.
