Releases? Binary builds? about sonnet HOT 7 CLOSED

@hannes-brt Hi, thanks for your question. I agree with all your points, we're not happy with the installation experience at the moment and obviously users have had a variety of issues with it. We've held back on offering a PyPI solution so far, principally because of developer time, but I've managed to get an engineer allocated to this full time for the next few weeks, who is going to look at packaging shortly.

My proposal is that every week, when we export from our internal version to GH, we will also bump the version number, create wheel files for Linux / Mac and python 2.7/3.4, upload them to PyPI, and update a changelog. I hope that should make use cases like yours much more straightforward - but please let me know if you think we should be doing different / additional things in order to make things user friendly.

@hannes-brt we've added a changelog and have started bumping version numbers (currently it's 1.1). Wheel files & PyPI will follow soon.

@malcolmreynolds Could you also tag the git commit with that version and/or cut a release on GH?

@malcolmreynolds That sounds great - having binaries on PyPI and regular releases should make things much easier.

+1 on this!

oh hi @hannes-brt ! i'm having the same problem tryin to use Sonnet for a Google Cloud Ml , i try to upload a wheel i build in my PC ( running ubuntu 16.04 ) and use the --package option on the gcloud command to install it, but i get this error when i try to run the job:

NotFoundError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /root/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sonnet/python/ops/_resampler.so)

Any hints? Thanks in advance

Closing this, we have been pushing binary builds & making GH tags for a little while now.
