Build and release binary wheels

[ngoldbaum]

It would be useful to be able to install this in environments where I don't have access to a compilation environment.

I've had success setting up wheel building infrastructure using Matthew Brett's multibuild: https://github.com/matthew-brett/multibuild.

That project automates the process of building the wheels on cloud CI services. It does add a bit more overhead to your release process but it buys you lots of appreciative users on locked-down environments.

Thanks @ngoldbaum. This sounds like a great idea but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. Any interest in pursuing this yourself?

[ngoldbaum]

Sure. If I get to the point where I build the wheel files for the last release would you be ok with uploading them to pypi?

[pbrady]

Absolutely!
