I have a package I want to share but have a question about packaging.
Mostly the package is pure python code, but it also requires some binary
libraries (*.so, *.dll, *.dylib). I want to bundle these libs so users don't
have to compile. The package will run on *nix/windows/mac platforms.
Currently I handle this in setup.py. In the 'build' phase, I copy the
platform-specific libs to a subdirectory called 'libs'.
class MyBuilder(build_py):
def run(self):
conditional logic for copying
appropriate library files to 'libs'
etc etc.
build_py.run()
And that seems to work, but after reading more from the Python Packaging
Authority, I wonder if that is the right way. Should I be using wheels
instead?
I think my brain fried a little bit while going through the doc.
thanks,
