Make release

[rth]

Given that in #26 it was decided to keep C extensions, I think it would be good to release this package so it can be usable.

Previously we discussed not making releases to avoid backward compatibility and maintenance issues. However the current situation makes this packages basically not installable on most frequent platform (Windows) where users don't typically have a compiler.

I would like to

• upload the sdist to PyPi
• add it to conda-forge
• try to see if we can make wheels from the conda artifacts using https://github.com/regro/conda-press

To avoid backward compatibility expectations we can release it with a alpha or beta prefix in the version string (while incrementing the version), as black project does for instance.

I think conda-press wheels are quite bulky, not sure if that's a concern here though.

I'd be happy with an alpha release, or a nightly binary build release.

Ahh, good to know. Haven't tried them yet. Personally I don't want to setup the wheels CI infrastructure if we can avoid it. I guess bulky wheels is better than no wheels :)

OK, I'm planning to tag scikit-learn-extra 0.1.0b1 in the near future, upload the .tar.gz to PyPi and conda-forge. Please let me know in case of disagreement.

scikit-learn-extra is now on PyPi (.tar.gz only) and on conda-forge. Closing as resolved.

A follow up issue on building wheels is in #59

Congrats and good luck!
