Various improvements (version discovery via download JSON, CLI, etc)

csachs commented 1 year ago

Thanks for having zig on PyPI, this makes installing it quite easy! This packaging tool is quite useful, here a PR to possibly add some more features:

Use download JSON to discover versions
Allow packaging of current main version (c.f. python make_wheels.py --version master --suffix "")
Add CLI interface for make_wheels.py
Add version info (ziglang.__version__) and an additional entrypoint (ziglang.zig("arg1", "arg2")) to package

Furthermore, the libarchive dependency is removed. In general, I would not hardcode the --version and --suffix parameters as they are now to match the behavior of the old script. Using Github Actions, the packaging could be automated further.

Please split the pull request into several smaller ones so that your changes can be discussed and applied individually. At the moment I don't have the review bandwidth to look into it otherwise.

I'm happy to continue review here. I'm particularly interested in the removal of libarchive-c dependency.

Interested also, currently builds seem to fail on latest macos

whitequark commented 1 year ago

As far as I understand this has been merged already.

Sorry for the delay, I created new PR #15 with the changes of this PR replacing libarchive-c with Python standard library tar/zip readers.
