Publish to PyPi about hnswlib

[scottgigante]

@yurymalkov if you want to upload it in its current form I think you could just do

cd hnswlib/python_bindings
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload -r pypi dist/*

If you've never used twine before, you will have to open an account on pypi.org and test.pypi.org, download twine and create your ~/.pypirc as follows:

[distutils]
index-servers =
  pypi
  pypitest

[pypi]
repository=https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
username=myuser
password=mypassword

[pypitest]
repository=https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
username=myuser
password=mypassword

@scottgigante Thank you so much!
I think the second option is a bit better (keeps backward compatibility).

Hi @scottgigante,
It is in the plans, but, probably, I would need help to do it.

[yurymalkov]

@scottgigante I would be nice if you have time to help with packaging. E.g. point out a good step-by-step guide.

@scottgigante Thank you!

@scottgigante I don't think it is so simple because of the #include "../hnswlib/hnswlib.h".

I am willing to help. There are two solutions:

• changing the structure of the git folder
• calling cp when wanting to publish a new version on pypi

Which one do you prefer @yurymalkov?
