PyPi package available and/or planned?

[jackjansen]

Have you read the documentation?

• [x] Yes - insofar as relevant to the question:-)
• [ ] No - then this issue will be closed.

I have looked for a PyPi package, but it seems that it isn't available. So my first question is: did I not look hard enough?

And if I did look hard enough: is a PyPi package on the radar?

And if it isn't: if it turns out that a PyPi package is a reasonable solution for me (i.e. it is not significantly more work for me to do that, as opposed to teaching my CI/CD about all the build steps manually): would you be likely to accept a pull request?

Hi @jackjansen , no the package is not on PyPi. I'll certainly welcome any pull request that can make this happen :) Currently, you can install the python binding locally after compilation, see the documentation for details.

Yes, that is what I am doing at the moment, and that's fine for manual installation, but for our multiplatform CI/CD it's a hassle. I will have a look, time permitting, and I'll give you a pull request if I can make it work.

Note that due to the dependency on the pmc library which has a GPL3 license, the resulting pip package will also have to have a GPL3 license...

@nachoreimat do you think you could help with creating a PyPI package?
