Amen to that, but who will pay for it? I imagine a great deal of processing power would be required for this. How do implementors of other languages handle this? 25.05.2016, 10:13, Thomas Güttler kirjoitti:
If you want wheel to be successful, **provide a build server**.
Quoting the author of psutil:

{{{ On Linux / Unix the only way you have to install psutil right now is via source / tarball. I don't want to provide wheels for Linux (or other UNIX platforms). I would have to cover all supported python versions (7) both 32 and 64 bits, meaning 14 extra packages to compile and upload on PYPI on every release. I do that for Windows because installing VS is an order of magnitude more difficult than installing gcc on Linux/UNIX but again: not willing to do extra work on that front (sorry). What you could do is create a wheel yourself with python setup.py build bdist_wheel by using the same python/arch version you have on the server, upload it on the server and install it with pip. }}}
What do you think?
