[ITK] SimpleITK Python wheels?

[Bradley Lowekamp]

That is awesome you are looking to use SimpleITK in a course!  If you have not found them yet, we have some Jupyter notebooks which may be of help:

http://insightsoftwareconsortium.github.io/SimpleITK-Notebooks/

They contain a variety of introductory and advanced topics which may be of use.

There are more comments below.

I need to investigate it more. The filename was consistent with 0.10.0.0. I didn’t think anything of it until I made the release and uploaded the files with twine. Then like you I could not find them. I tries renaming them with 0.10.0, but I guess the versions in the wheel metadata.

Do you know the way to contact the pypi maintainers to make this request?
