Use Scikit-build for easier install
Would be more convenient if you used scikit-build for an easier install. The benefit is that the MultiNest library could just be built and contained within PyMultiNest package.
I've used it before for Fortran. For example: https://github.com/Nicholaswogan/NumbaMinpack
We can use CMake Package Manager to make MultiNest a dependency.
Anyway, if you are interested, I can put together a pull request. Let me know!
Interesting. scikit-build says it is about CPython extensions, so I guess we would have to modify quite a bit? I'd rather keep MultiNest (which is not my code) identical to upstream, because otherwise I become in charge of maintaining it and resolving bugs ...
I am not sure whether there would be a potential licensing issue with redistributing MultiNest, since it is not FOSS.
For a easier-to-install, free and open source software package, there is UltraNest.
No modifications of MultiNest would be necessary.
I am not sure of the licensing.
I should look closer at UltraNest. Thanks!
