Use Wheels on PyPI about imageio

[blink1073]

This does the trick:

$ export IMAGEIO_PLAT=linux64; python setup.py bdist_wheel

if 'bdist_wheel' in sys.argv:
    # 'linux64', 'linux32', 'win64', 'win32', 'osx64']:
    import imageio
    import os
    resource_dir = imageio.core.resource_dirs()[0]
    _set_crossplatform_resources(resource_dir)
    _set_platform_resources(resource_dir, os.environ['IMAGEIO_PLAT'])

[blink1073]

The resulting file would have to be renamed for the appropriate platform.

Hmm, it appears a less hacky way is to use from wheel.bdist_wheel import Command

So we can build the wheels for all platforms from a single box?

Yessir

Oh wait, if I read your first earlier more closely, a wheel is really just a .tar.gz that has platform specific resources and is renamed to.whl?

[blink1073]

That's it.

It creates a imageio-1.3.dist-info folder in the tar file.

Want me to take a stab at it?

[almarklein]

Yes, please, if you have some free cycles :)

What are conferences for 😄

I'm calling this a dead end, see #108.
