Is there a reason that psutil cannot be built as a manylinux1 wheel? - manylinux1_x86_64 - manylinux1_i686 On Friday, September 8, 2017, Matthew Brett wrote:

It would be great, if I could install psutil without the need for a gcc on linux.

The maintainer (Giampaolo Rodola) is interested, but the roadmap is not clear yet.

He said:

It's something which needs to be investigated. A quick Google searched brought me here: https://github.com/joerick/cibuildwheel ...so it appears it's definitively possible.

Is this the current state of the art, or is there a better way?

I haven't looked at CIBuildwheel in much detail, but my impression is that it will work well for simple wheels, but I didn't investigate far to see how well it would cope for more substantial builds.

My own project for the same thing is somewhat less streamlined, but is relatively flexible:

I did a lot of wheel-build bootstrapping. so there are a lot of projects that use it - numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pandas, Cython, h5py, Pillow, scikit-learn, scikit-image, astropy ... Of course that density is largely historical, but it does at least mean that the project is battle tested and relatively well maintained. I'm happy to help you get set up.

You might also look at Scikit-Build - https://github.com/scikit-build/scikit-build - I believe that project is particularly good if you are using CMake.

By the way, you might prefer the wheel-builders list for this discussion - https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/wheel-builders

Thomas can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he was looking for an easy automated way to do this.

Cheers,
