[Python-ideas] Cmake as build system

[André Freitas]

Andrew,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I am trying to write a Cmake file for cpython for those that want to
contribute using Clion IDE and I will put it on a public repository. If it
can be useful for some developers is worth sharing.

Best regards,
André Freitas
