Hello,

I have a Python project that depends on an external C library (which is
unrelated to Python and NOT part of the OS).

For an sdist, this is easy: my setup.py assumes that the library is
pre-installed somewhere on the system where setuptools can find it.

However, is there a standard solution for packaging such a project as
wheel? Ideally, the project should "just work" when doing pip install on
it, which means that the external library should somehow be bundled in
the wheel.

I know that for example numpy does that, but it also has a very
complicated build system (containing a fork of distutils!).

Does anybody know any pointers for this? Or if you think that this is a
minefield which is not really supported, feel free to say so.


Thanks,
Jeroen.
