- takeda 11y agoI did not write anything worthy to send to PIP so don't know exactly but looks like it is up to the developers[1] Anyway I just noticed that PyPI only supports binary packages for Windows and Mac OS X. Although, you could still generate wheels of packages that you use by using something like this: pip wheel -r requirements.txt You can then install them with pip install <file> or (unfortunately I forgot the option, perhaps it was -i) you can use an option to point to a directory containing wheels and pip install to install the main package. It should use all dependencies in that directory as well. [1] http://pythonwheels.com/ http://pythonwheels.com/
- techdragon 11y agothe issue with Wheels on Linux, and this is very much a Linux problem, is that the 'pre built' nature of libraries in wheels doesnt play nice with the raw chaos of Linux's package management + distro + kernel ecosystem. I raised the question of FreeBSD and Solaris based wheels at a PyCon when I was in a face to face discussion with someone more knowledgeable, and the answer was 'in theory that should work like Windows & OSX, no one has done the hard work yet.' So yeah Linux is not the most friendly environment for Python Wheels.
