wheels for simplejson

[srkunze]

Could you provide wheels for simplejson?

http://pythonwheels.com/

It's not easy to do given platform specific extensions. If someone makes it easier (some sort of cross platform build farm service) then I'd be happy to.

Wheels can be built for linux and OS X on Travis CI automatically:
http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pypi/
https://github.com/MacPython/wiki/wiki/Wheel-building

There's also a guide for using appveyor to build the windows wheels:
http://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/appveyor/

Does that help? :-)

Also, if there isn't a wheel package for a specific platform, does that matter? It will just fallback to the standard archive. (Just by having the linux packages will cover a significant proportion of users).

For future reference, #130 creates wheels for windows. (although they are not on PyPI yet)

@edmorley linux binary wheels are currently not allowed on PyPI. Windows and OS X wheels could be uploaded, though.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but thanks to all of the help here simplejson now has wheels for Mac & Windows.

[srkunze]

Nice! :) Thanks.

Glad I could be of help, and thanks for all your work on simplejson!

Actually, wheels can now be built for linux as well! Check out PEP 513 and the very helpful stuff from the
manylinux project for more information.

These two scripts will build the manylinux wheels for you. If you have docker installed, place them in the same empty folder and run the run_simplejson.sh script.

Call this file build_simplejson.sh

#!/bin/bash

for PYBIN in /opt/python/*/bin; do
    ${PYBIN}/pip wheel simplejson
done

# Bundle external shared libraries into the wheels
for whl in *.whl; do
    auditwheel repair $whl -w /io/wheelhouse/
done

Call this file build_simplejson.sh

export DOCKER_IMAGE=quay.io/pypa/manylinux1_x86_64
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/io $DOCKER_IMAGE /io/build_libsbml.sh
export DOCKER_IMAGE=quay.io/pypa/manylinux1_i686
docker run --rm -v `pwd`:/io $DOCKER_IMAGE /io/build_libsbml.sh

If you'd like to see manylinux wheels for simplejson, I'd be happy to review and accept a PR that sets this up with freely available CI infrastructure (e.g. Travis, which is what is used for OS X wheels)
