Speed up a pip install process that contains a build step

Question

# setup.py from setuptools import setup from setuptools.command.install import install from subprocess import check_call class CustomInstall(install): def run(self): check_call("./build.sh") install.run(self) setup( name='customlib', packages=['customlib'], version='0.0.1', ... cmdclass={'install': CustomInstall} )

build.sh contains a make & make install step which takes more than 10 minutes to finish.

Is there a PyPi way to "package" the output of build.sh to speed up the pip install process?

Use wheel. A wheel is a great standard format for passing around Python packages, and it can contain C code compiled for various architectures. PyPI supports uploading wheels for your project, and pip will download them when available.

Very useful docs can be found here: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/distributing-packages/#packaging-your-project
