Automated compilation of Python wheel binary packages for Biopython

This repository on GitHub is to automate the compilation of binary wheel packages of Biopython for later upload to PyPI.

• https://github.com/biopython/biopython
• https://pypi.python.org/pypi/biopython

It uses the multibuild system developed by Matthew Brett and the MacPython project.

• https://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild
• https://github.com/MacPython/wiki/wiki/Wheel-building

The builds themselves are performed on virtual machines using continuous integration testing services. Specifically, TravisCI for Linux and Apple Mac OS X, and AppVeyor for Microsoft Windows.

• https://travis-ci.org/biopython/biopython-wheels/builds
• https://ci.appveyor.com/project/biopython/biopython-wheels/history

The compiled wheel files are uploaded to a staging folder hosted on Anaconda:

• https://anaconda.org/multibuild-wheels-staging/biopython/files

From there we download them and then upload them to PyPI as part of making a Biopython release.

There is a basic pre-commit configuration provided to validate the YAML files as a git pre-commit hook. Install this as follows:

$ pip install pre-commit
$ pre-commit install
