Error encountered when updating Blosc 1.2.7

[duytrung]

Hi,

I want to request for a python wheel distribution of this package or compiled binary instead of install from source. The following log was generated when I tried to update blosc:

1.2.5 works fine, btw..

[FrancescAlted]

@esc well, this actually surprises me, because c-blosc 1.6.1 has received attention patches from MSVC-based developers and from MinGW and TDM-GCC too. I suppose giving support for all the plethora of compilers out there is not going to be easy. Could you please open a new ticket on this one?

[FrancescAlted]

@duytrung Regarding your request to provide wheels for python-blosc, I don't think this is going to happen, at least on the developer side. Normally binary packagers like Continuum Analytics (Anaconda), Enthought (Canopy) or Christoph Gohlke are doing a much better job than we developers can afford to.

I am going to close this. If you have suggestions or PR for supporting other compilers, please feel free.

[duytrung]

Hi FrancescAlted, I'm regularly check for newer packages in Gohlke page. However, there is no newer version at the time of report. I'm using Anaconda but sometime it update the packages quite late.

Kind regards
