aarch64 wheel

[baca790]

Hi all

Would it be possible to put a manylinux aarch64 wheel for gudhi up on pypi?

Immediate relevant use case: linux devcontainers running on Mac ARM64 architecture - a fairly standard data science workflow these days. The current macos_*_universal wheels will run on the native Mac ARM64 hardware, but not in a linux docker devcontainer running on the same, hence the need for the aarch64 build.

Extended use case: I'm really keen to try gudhi for edge computing applications, such as on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano devices. The same aarch64 builds would work on there.

Thanks and regards Ben Cassidy

Thanks for the suggestion. We will try to add that in the future (no promise about when it will happen). In the mean time, may I suggest using conda? We have a linux-aarch64 package on conda-forge, and it is likely to be faster than the version on pypi (compiled with more recent software).

Understood. I'll see if I can make that work with conda in the meantime. Would you be open to a PR if I find the time to work on the pypi version? Thanks.

Yes, we are open for contributions. Linux pip packaging is happening in .github/workflows/pip-packaging-linux.yml and uses the gudhi/pip_for_gudhi:latest docker image.
