`pip install pysolid` support

[yunjunz]

pysolid is now available on PyPI (https://pypi.org/project/pysolid/). But pip install pysolid does not work, because a Fortran compiler is required to build the package but is not available via pip, as far as I know. It will be great if pip install could work!

[jhkennedy]

Can be done with cibuildwheel: https://cibuildwheel.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

[yunjunz]

That is great to know! Thank you @jhkennedy. I will take a deeper look at this later.

43 solved the pip install pysolid for macOS and Linux, but not for Windows yet. For Windows, there are preliminary recipes in .github/workflows/build-and-publish-to-pypi.yml, which needs further testing and modification.

[yunjunz]

Testing pysolid from Test PyPI (https://test.pypi.org/project/pysolid/) shows the following errors on macOS.

After #45, the following pip install works for me on macOS, which is great!

mamba install --file ~/tools/PySolid/requirements.txt
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ pysolid

I am adding back the dependency config in setup.py (#46) and hope this could eliminate the manual dependency installation.

[yunjunz]

After #46, the following one-line installation went through without error. But testing shows the dependencies are not actually installed, even though they are shown in the installation (note the numpy version there is pretty old).

[yunjunz]

Testing based on the latest version 0.3.0 passed on macOS and Linux. So I guess the previous error using TestPyPI is somehow not happening in PyPI. Cheers!

[jhkennedy]

@yunjunz can we close this issue? I don't see anything left to do here.

[yunjunz]

Yes, I think this is complete! Thank you @jhkennedy!
