Messed up _zenroom.so file in PyPi package 1.0.12 about zenroom

Wow thanks for reporting, definitely to be fixed 🌶️

No worries!

By the way. Did you have experience with distributing python packages with
binary extensions using standard python tooling? I'm just curious whether this
is an explicit decision to "crosscompile" and bundle binaries for all possible
cases with pyenv.

One possible solution is to build extensions as one of installation phases.
This will of course result in unsuccessful installations on some distributions.
But I think It is generally better then successful installation that crashes due
to hardcoded paths in ELFs or worse -- segfaults.

Projects like pyNaCl and python-rapidjson successfully distributing packages
using this approach.

I can give it a crack if you would consider such change.

Yeah, I have in some corner of my hdd a cpython branch that builds, more like the approach of libsass, that compiles at installation time from the setup.py. But never had time to fully test and release.
At some point would be nice to have a libzenroom distributed on different distributions, but I know it's a huge effort and will not happen in the near future...
If you want to help with the setup.py build as you mentioned I'm more than happy to support ;p

Cool. I'll give it a try then!

closing this in favour of #125 and #136
