Automate Wheel Builds for multi-operating systems, including c++ keras-retinanet.

[bw4sz]

Goal: An automated tool that builds both DeepForest and keras-retinanet into a single pypi wheel for each operating system. Separate builds for osx, linux and windows.

Current Status: OSX wheel is built on travis for DeepForest. User needs to pip install keras-retinanet from github and have valid c++ compiler on path for the Cython code. This makes it hard for windows users (
#56).

Resources being investigated:

• Azure build pipelines: https://iscinumpy.gitlab.io/post/azure-devops-python-wheels/
  we have Microsoft $, so cost is not an issue here.

• https://github.com/joerick/cibuildwheel . Not immediately obvious if c++ are built across operating systems. Not encouraged by this thread here: https://travis-ci.community/t/python-support-on-windows/241

Additional thoughts: The keras-retinanet fork and the DeepForest repo are currently separate. I do not see pulling from keras-retinanet upstream. So I am open to the idea of copying the source and having both packages in the same repo. This is more of an organizational change, it doesn't help much with the above challenges (but would address #41).

Its really looking like travis build pushes to pypi are only linux and mac. Reading more about azure services https://medium.com/raa-labs/creating-a-pipeline-in-azure-devops-to-build-and-publish-python-packages-artifacts-ea2f99410e6c

my update on pypi builds trigged on master build on azure pipeline

• source distributions
• OSX python 3.7
• many_linux (needed?)
• windows (priority)

[bw4sz]

complete.

https://pypi.org/project/deepforest/#files

uploaded! need to check if the pipeline gets the source distribution as well. Needs to be checked on azure instances tomorrow. If so, can close.

Checked on azure machine for windows and locally on osx, looks great. see #56
