Wheels

[davidt0x]

Hi,

First, thanks for the great package. I wanted to use it for a project I am involved in but there didn't seem to be any wheels built for it. I forked your repo and put together a GitHub action for building wheels for Python 3.5-3.9 on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Any chance you would like to upstream this workflow into your repo? This pull request should set it all up. The only thing you would need to do is create and PyPi API token for your account and add it as a repo secret called PYPI_PASSWORD. The action would be triggered anytime you tag a release. Note, it will only be triggered on new releases so you would need to bump the version when creating the release.

I tried to make the minimal changes to your repo to get this working. Please see the commits but here is an overview:

• Added wheels.yml to .github\workflows
• Added a more standard Python centric .gitignore
• Added SCM versioning
• Added some simple pytests. These are basically copies of the simple 2D and 3D tests you had in testing/. It would be better if they actually asserted that the results are correct of course. Though, they suffice for making sure the wheel is built correctly and doesn't crash so I left it at that.

Anyway, thanks again for the package!

Dear @davidt0x ,

What an unexpected and wonderful PR!!! This has been on my TODO list for several years now, but it's never risen high enough for me to get over the barrier of learning how to build multidistribution wheels.

I'll definitely be merging this in. I'll review the commits momentarily, but from my first glance, it looks like everything is in great shape.

I can't tell you how delighted and grateful I am that you did this: thank you!!

No problem Travis. In the past it was usually a pain but with tools like cibuildwheel it has gotten much better. Anyway, thanks for upstreaming and thanks for the cool package.
