This project is a lazy attempt at wrapping xapian's autotools-based build system in setuptools to allow installing xapian and its bindings via pip, poetry and setup.py.
When you attempt to build it, this package downloads xapian and xapian-bindings and compiles them making it possible to build a wheel containing both bindings and xapian-core not requiring any external dependencies.
I also provide binary wheels for Python 3.5 to 3.8 via GitHub releases.
