build binary wheels for people that don't have a c-compiler about cftime HOT 12 CLOSED

I have not been able to reproduce the issue with pip hanging in an environment without cython that @huard reported. I will go ahead and release 1.0.3. I'll also ask @matthew-brett to create a MacPython/cftime-wheels project for us.

I haven't been able to reproduce it either. The only guess I can make is that this was in a outdated conda environment with an old version of pip.

@matthew-brett has kindly created https://github.com/MacPython/cftime-wheels for us, so linux and macosx wheels can now be built automatically.

Note that when doing pip install cftime on an environment with no cython installed, the install process just hangs there and no feedback is returned to the user.

Doesn't the conda-forge package meet this need?

That allows cftime to be installed with conda, but I don't think it allows creation of binary wheels that can be uploaded to pypi for installation with pip.

The issue that @huard mentions above needs to be fixed before 1.0.3 is released. I have no idea at this point what causes it.

Not sure what version you are testing @huard but this was fixed a while back when we moved cython to the setup_requires.

Regarding wheels, I'm not familiar with it, but I believe multibuild is the way to go.

Probably, I don't recall in which version the setup_requires was added but it is kind of a new thing.

Will there be manylinux wheels for v1.0.3 ?
That would help bypass #34
Thanks !

from cftime.

There will be as soon as @matthew-brett adds me to the cftime-wheels project so I can trigger a build.

@jswhit - did you see my earlier message on that? Have you tried triggering a build?
