[Biopython-dev] Using NumPy/SciPy/scikit-learn approach to building wheels

[Peter Cock]

Dear Biopythoneers,

RE: https://github.com/biopython/biopython/issues/1296

There has been an impressive amount of work in the wider
NumPy ecosystem to automate building compiled wheels for
Linux, Mac and Windows:

Here is how NumPy etc does their wheels:

A more relevant example of another project using NumPy:

https://github.com/MacPython/astropy-wheels

Background to the setup:

Unless anyone has a better idea, I plan to ask Matthew Brett
if Biopython can also use the Rackspace donated resources
originally for the scikit-learn team for hosting the wheels prior
to uploading to PyPI:
