[ITK] SimpleITK Python wheels?

[Matt McCormick]

>>> The problem with the OS X wheels is that they are too big for pipy at about 75mb. These are still fat binaries of i386 and x86_64. I have not check what pip would do with just a x86_64 wheel but with a fat Python version.

I added that request here:

  https://sourceforge.net/p/pypi/support-requests/415/

Part of the answer was that an increased size could be possible when
Warehouse goes live, and it is now live.

So, it would be worthwhile trying to upload to warehouse as described here:

  https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2016-June/029083.html

although the upload URL has recently been changed to
https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ per

  https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2016-July/029332.html

If it does not work, then a ping on the issue or distutils-sig may help.

HTH,
