Hi!

Please could this package also by made available as a wheel on PyPI?
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyinotify

Wheels have the following advantages:

  • Faster installation time
  • Allows the wheel cache to work even when using the new pip hash-checking mode
  • Allows tools to statically inspect the package metadata without having to execute untrusted code.
  • ...and more - see: http://pythonwheels.com

Since this package contains compiled code the process is a bit more involved, however there is now support for platform wheels on most platforms. See:
https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/distributing-packages/#platform-wheels
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/
https://github.com/pypa/python-manylinux-demo

Once the wheels are created, the Python packaging guide recommends using Twine to upload packages:

Many thanks :-)
