Current Project State about pybison

[smvv]

Hi @da-h, feel free to submit a PR. I'm not really involved in this project anymore though. Btw, the project is heavily based on #14.

Publishing to pip seems fine to me. How are you going to build and publish the linux/macOS/windows binaries that pybison depends upon?

Hi @smvv,

it took me some time since my request to make a more sustainable suggestion for this project:

The project pybison should remain sdist only since it needs a typical compiler toolchain to work with it anyway. I have published it to pypi with developers in mind that have read the README.md first.
However, as any project or parser build with pybison should be also deployable to others, I am thinking about a pybison-light pip package. That version serves only the basic structure to open the dynamic libraries, the base classes, etc, but not much more.

I see pybison as a developer-only package.
To deploy packages that depend on pybison, developers could then distribute their binaries together with the requirement of pybison-light.

Best,
da-h

Sure, that makes sense. I think that pybison-runtime would be a more suitable name since it will only contain the files necessary at runtime but pybison-light is also possible indeed.
