Release wheels for Windows on PyPI?
zooba opened this issue · comments
Just wondering if you could upload wheels of MySQL-python to PyPI for Windows. The installer is nice, but doesn't help when using virtual environments. Should just be as simple as setup.py bdist_wheel upload (after installing the wheel package).
As a bonus, you get a tick next to your package on http://pythonwheels.com/ :)
I've created fork of MySQLdb1 supporting Python 3.
I've uploaded Windows wheels to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mysqlclient
Could you try it?
Those wheels appear to be fine, though I haven't run through all the tests I'd need to in order to be confident about the code. (I don't have a convenient test suite for MySQLDB - this is more about what I recommend to our users, and pip install is our preference wherever possible.)
I'll be watching to see if your pull requests are accepted.
