Vendor Khiops with pyKhiops

[popescu-v]

Description

From Khiops 10.1.0, there will be no need of license to install it. This in theory would allow to vendor Khiops within the pyKhiops package.

Ideas / Questions

• PI still asks to "accept" the license, is it possible to do it with pip?
• What about installing MPI with it? Should we?
• There will be two distributions: pykhiops (source and wheel) and pykhiops-full (wheel). The later will contain the vendored Khiops. pykhiops-full will depend on pykhiops.
• Preliminary steps:
  • Parametrize setup.py with the platform and architecture. For each platform and architecture:
  • Dowload the Khiops packages / installers and decompress them
  • Copy the executables and launch script and include them in the packaging
• Technical notes:
  • We'll need to customize the setup.py script probably overriding the install or build_ext steps.

Finally the vendoring is achieved with one self-contained conda-package that we create.
