release manylinux/windows/mac wheels on pypi

[ojwb]

We don't currently really have a PyPI maintainer - this isn't going to happen until we do I'm afraid.

@felixonmars is the new pypi maintainer and mentioned making manylinux wheels in #18.

Does wheel for Python3.12 for windows will be available? Because I am unable to compile it in Windows 11 with BuildTools 2019 (v14) nor BuildTools 2022 (v17), each time pip make it look like it doesn't find the compiler :(

This is a volunteer project - we'll provide wheels if/when someone steps up to contributing them and maintaining them.

Your build problem sounds worth solving anyway (also it would presumably be hard to build wheels with MSVC if we fail to detect it). It's not a development platform I use, but did you run the "vcvars" script to set up PATH and other environment variables?

I have found a solution (somewhat): Install the full blown Visual Studio 2022 and not just the Build Tools like recommended :/
