[Python-ideas] Cmake as build system

[André Freitas]

Hi,
What you think about using Cmake build system?

I see advantages such as:
- Cross-plataform;
- Supported in Clion IDE (amazing C/C++ IDE, breakpoints, etc);
- Simple and easy to use (Zen of Python :)
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/ );

I was actually seeing a discussion in python-commiters about Windows 7
buildbots failing. Found that someone already had the same idea but don't
know if it was shared here: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/BuildingPythonWithCMake

Please share your thoughts.

Regards,
André Freitas
