- convention is the other option: - use binary wheel for in-house deplyment to similar systems - use binary wheels for a well-defined python build: - for PyPi, that's the python.org builds for Windows and OS-
Thanks - that is a very useful summary.
It would make sense I think to provide numpy wheels like mine via pypi - as pyzmq does for example.
Indeed -- and I really appreciate your efforts on this -- I think we should be able to get the whole "stack" up there pretty soon (though there is an issue with iPython and readline...) Ralf had put together a test set of these, too a little while ago.
In this case, I believe (Chris correct me if I'm wrong) that someone running via system python would get the usual compile / install, but someone running python.org python would get a near instant numpy,
That's the idea -- though not entirely sure how that would go without testing. Also, I think with pip, you need to tell it to look for binary wheels -- it won't do that by default. pip install --use-wheel numpy so that seems like a clear win.
Agreed. The trick is that it's reasonable for users of Apple's python build to want this too -- but I don't know how we can hope to provide that. (and macports, and homebrew... but those I feel better about requiring to build your own -- really, that's what those systems are designed to do) -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
