<br>
I am sorry if this a developer question, but I wanted to ask for some<br>
help in building a Python wheel to install VTK with Python bindings.<br>
<br>
For anyone not deep into the current state of Python packing, Python<br>
wheels are a very simple zip-based installation format [1].<br>
<br>
We've recently had very good success building wheels for OSX, so we<br>
can install all the main scientific Python packages quickly on OSX<br>
without a compiler [2]<br>
<br>
I'm now trying to work out how to make a wheel for VTK. This is very<br>
easy for a project with a 'setup.py' file, but I believe this isn't<br>
the case for VTK, and I don't know the cmake VTK build system well.<br>
So - is there a good place to go, to ask for help with this?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot,<br>
<br>
Matthew<br>
