Feature Request: macOS Support #7

Closed hmitsch closed 2 years ago

hmitsch commented 2 years ago

Current State

The MDF4 converter is currently supporting Windows and Linux only.

Desired State

The MDF4 converter also works on macOS.

@MatinF, would you be able and willing to look into this?

mkabelitz commented 2 years ago

To add to @hmitsch's comment, trying to pip install on macOS leads to the following outcome:

$ pip install mdf-iter
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mdf-iter (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for mdf-iter

which is expected since on PyPI the only listed distributions are Windows and Linux.

Hi guys, thanks for the inputs!

We do not currently have plans to add support for Mac as our core focus is on Windows/Linux, with Mac users being very niche in our segment. Further, it is not within our core team expertise to build tools for use on Mac.

With that said, you might be able to build the mdf-iter module on Mac assuming you have experience with doing this from past projects - or you may be able to find e.g. a freelancer or similar with experience in this area.

Further, if the aim is to use the modules for e.g. processing data from S3, you can consider using e.g. AWS Lambda functions to avoid having to install anything locally on Mac.

I hope you'll find a solution.
