This python library was tested on Windows 64bit together with Anaconda Python.

This library is using cffi.

Preparation

Unzip the correct version of the smpt library and copy the lib into the lib directory. On Windows, build artifacts from ScienceMode4_c_library can be used.

How to build for Windows

Mingw 5.3 from Qt needs to be installed in C:\Qt\Tools\mingw530_32. Visual studio compiler needs also be installed.

Building the wheel

Create a wheel with

python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal

Installing the wheel

You may correct the filename, check that the python version is matching the version in the filename. E.g. for python 3.9, the following version is valid:

pip install dist/sciencemode4_cffi-1.0.0-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl
