Installation problem

[rsheftel]

I am trying to pip install this package from the github source but it is failing on Linux. Do you have plans to package and upload to PyPi?

I can add this to PyPI, but it will only be source dists, no binary wheels. A source dist will likely not solve whatever issue you are having. I have only built this on GNU+Linux, if you post your issue maybe I can help.

[llllllllll]

We use charconv in the repr of int tagged lists: https://github.com/llllllllll/jlist/blob/master/jlist/jlist.cc#L607

This appears to have been added in 8.1 (for integral types only), and the default gcc on ubuntu 18.04 is gcc-7. This is just an efficient itoa implementation with a nice interface, so we could probably do a feature test for this and fall back to a different implementation. Would you be interested in implementing that?

[rsheftel]

As much as I would like to test I have no C++/C capabilities so I am afraid I am not able to submit a PR.
