Depending on external library

Hello, I have a Python project that depends on an external C library (which is unrelated to Python and NOT part of the OS). For an sdist, this is easy: my setup.py assumes that the library is pre-installed somewhere on the system where setuptools can find it. However, is there a standard solution for packaging such a project as wheel? Ideally, the project should "just work" when doing pip install on it, which means that the external library should somehow be bundled in the wheel. I know that for example numpy does that, but it also has a very complicated build system (containing a fork of distutils!). Does anybody know any pointers for this? Or if you think that this is a minefield which is not really supported, feel free to say so. Thanks, Jeroen. -- Distutils-SIG mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/distutils-sig.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/6RZVKM5YQVAAOR5ENDS34HH5VFXHZ22G/
