In the end i decided not to try to support installation with old pip-18.1. So i've now uploaded the project to pypi.org. It's a set of Python bindings for the PDF library MuPDF, and can be installed with: pip install mupdf The install takes a few minutes to compile original source and run SWIG etc. More information is at: https://twiki.ghostscript.com/do/view/Main/MuPDFWrap If anyone is interested, here's the MuPDF commit that adds support for Python packaging, adding a Python module pipcl.py that helps to provide generic PEP-517 support and basic setup.py command-line usage: https://git.ghostscript.com/?p=mupdf.git;a=commitdiff;h=153c67ddf5 Thanks, - Julian -- http://op59.net -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- distutils-sig@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to distutils-sig-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/distutils-sig@python.org/message/GQZQNXMXIY4WTSDTHRSIBBFKEACVFTQH/
