Wheels for alpine/musl #166

Closed fredericoschardong closed 1 year ago

fredericoschardong commented 1 year ago

Some of us out there are using Python on alpine-based systems, which use musl instead of glibc. Thus, we have to build our own wheels everytime.

Can you please add musl-based wheels? It would imensely speed up the build process.

I suppose we can. I think cibuildwheel produces those by default already, but we disabled because it was taking long and we figured it was less frequently used

Can you send a PR to re-enable them and see if it builds successfully? If it doesn't add too much to the build time I'm ok to add them.

I am running the build as you instructed in a little fork I made. I will report here once it finishes and open up the PR.

EDIT: It takes about 30min to build for both manylinux and musllinux. Here is the PR.
