Updating the mappy build system [Help wanted!]

[lh3]

Minimap2 currently uses setup.py for build and distributing the mappy Python module. However, with the old system being deprecated, I am unable to update the module at PyPI now. Could someone help? Thanks.

In the past, I was running

python setup.py sdist upload -r pypi

Now on my M1 Mac, I got the following errors (only showing the end of the log):

copying python/mappy.pyx -> mappy-2.25/python
copying python/minimap2.py -> mappy-2.25/python
copying sse2neon/emmintrin.h -> mappy-2.25/sse2neon

PS: I can build and use the mappy module but I am unable to upload the package to PyPI.

It seems that I can use twine to upload. Close it for now.
