Python wheels for ARM macOS

[hombit]

Update 2022 July 10: we release these wheels manually since 0.6.0, but we keep this issue open until we find a way to do it in CI

Hi there, it would be great if a wheel could be provided, as building it seems to require a working Rust toolchain, which feels like a bit of overkill and e.g. has problems with my .gitconfig setup ([url "ssh://git@github.com/"] insteadOf = https://github.com/ does not work).

Hi @simeonreusch, sorry for the inconvenience. If you use brew consider to install Rust and GSL (the only build requirements of the package) via brew install rust gsl.

Also please stay tuned, I fortunately have M1 mac to build everything locally, I will share wheels with you soonish

@simeonreusch
The problem that we'd like to support CI wheels builds for as many platforms as we could, but Github Actions doesn't provide macOS ARM runners yet. Fortunately I have M1 laptop and built wheels locally and published on testpypi for the last version of the package (v0.6.0) and the last version of macOS (12).

Could you please help me to test these wheels?

python3 -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ light-curve

Hi, just tested this, and it
WORKS
Very nice, thanks a lot!

@simeonreusch thank you! I will post these wheels to the real pypi and will do it for future versions as well.
