Binary wheels for Windows #178

cc @Martinsos Hello! Are there plans to upload such wheels to PyPI?

Martinsos commented 3 years ago

Hey @ofek , not at the moment, but it sounds like a reasonable request. I am currently overwhelmed with other work and can't work on this, but if you want to take it on, I could try offering some assistance (atlhough I don't develop on Windows nor use Python lately so my knowledge is somewhat limited). The gist of it would be adding logic to appveyor.yml that builds and uploads the wheels. Right now we have such logic in .travis.yml, but it works only for Linux and OSX, not for Windows. So you could probably take that and copy it to some extent into appveyor.yml -> but I am not sure how much can be reused and how much is specific for Windows/Appveyor.
