building wheels for CyRK does not package cython's binaries for PyPI distribution

[jrenaud90]

See details (and hopefully a future solution) about this issue here.

Current workaround is to not build or upload wheels during CI. Users will have to recompile the cython code locally as of CyRK v0.2.0.

I can help with this. cibuildwheel really simplifies the build process.

Hey @cerrussell! It would be great to have your help. I did look at cibuildwheel before but was running into a similar error as described in the top post,

cibuildwheel: Build failed because a pure Python wheel was generated.
  
  If you intend to build a pure-Python wheel, you don't need cibuildwheel - use
  `pip wheel -w DEST_DIR .` instead.

It would be awesome if you have any insights on how to make it work, feel free to make a PR.

@jrenaud90 Yeah, I got that too - I think it's because you have to tell your setuptools backend what extensions you expect it to include. I resolved that bit on my fork, but running into some odd compilation issues related to numpy that I'm hammering out now.

@jrenaud90 Just created a pull request... looks like wheels are being generated properly. Still some work to do - adding testing to cibuildwheels and a command to unpack the wheels to show they include the prebuilt binary.

[jrenaud90]

Awesome! Thank you so much for your help. I will take a look at it later today.

Fixed with PR #15 in CyRK v0.2.4.
