cibuildwheel

I know far too much about python packaging while only knowing a little about it. I agree it’s hell. But I’ve not found many comprehensive packaging solutions that aren’t gnarly in some way. IMHO the Python Packaging community have done an excellent job of producing tools to make packaging easy for folks, especially if you’re using GitHub actions. Check out: https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel Pypa have an extensive list of GitHub actions for various use cases. I think most of us end up in the “pure hell” because we read the docs on how to build a package instead of using the tools the experts created to hide the chaos. A bit like building a deb by hand is a lot harder than using the tools which do it for you.
