Compiled wheels seem to be viable for platforms like OSX and Windows, but for source builds one runs into the usual problems: - setuptools is not good enough for complex c/c++ projects, - no integration with system-wide package managers, - difficult to deal with dependencies outside the Python ecosystem. These are real difficulties for projects which are not primarily Python-based but which offer Python bindings. Even in the best-case scenario one still has to port over an already-functional build system (autotools, CMake, ...) to setuptools, and maintain it. It seems really hard to solve the Python packaging problem without first solving the general packaging problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
