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 now uses the cibuildwheel system running on GitHub Actions.

• https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel

This produces lots and lots of wheel files, zipped up as a ~100MB artifact.zip available from the footer of the relevant GitHub Actions run.

We currently manually download, unzip, and then upload to PyPI with twine as part of making a release.

This repository originally used the multibuild system developed by Matthew Brett and the MacPython project, running on TravisCI and AppVeyor.

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
