Packaging for newer Python versions - proposal/offer of help #78
Comments
Wow, that would be great, thanks! I completely agree that packaging is not ideal here, any help is very welcome. |
A few months ago I had some troubles building the Linux wheel (e.g. see this build). If I remember well, this was somehow due to a problem in the action python-wheels-manylinux-build. I did not manage to fix this at the time, but maybe your proposal of using |
I've started working on this in the WIP PR - that is at least proof of concept test+build against all currently supported Python versions on Linux/Mac. I don't understand the Windows errors at all yet, but will be coming back to this later in the week. |
First off - thanks for the package, it's been really great to use.
This proposal has been motivated by doing some investigations with Python 3.11 - currently installation isn't possible from the sdist on PyPI because of a change in Python internals which means the Cython generated file in the sdist doesn't work with Python 3.11.
I'd like to offer to put in some maintenance time on the packaging and distribution side of things to make this library more accessible on recent python versions.
My very rough proposal of what I could do is:
I should add that I think all of the above is pretty straightforward, but I don't have a lot of experience at the C/Cython layer (part of the motivation for offering to help is because I want to learn more here).
Footnotes
If this all goes smoothly I'd also be happy to take a go at moving the wheel building over to cibuildwheel for a hopefully smoother and more comprehensive approach to building wheels. ↩
