Do you mean the gitHub MacPython organization? If so, then yes, this is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind when I started that. Following up an idea and code by Matt Terry [1], I've made a general > repo called 'terryfy', with tools for building Python projects on the > travis-ci OSX virtual machines [2]. > > Meanwhile, Olivier Grisel from scikit-learn kindly gave me access to the > scikit-learn rackspace account for uploading built wheels. > > This made it rather easy to make a series of repos to build OSX wheels > automatically. An example is the 'h5py-wheels' repo [3], to build > OSX wheels for the h5py project. > One thought on this -- I had envisioned one repo that would contain the stuff to build a whole bunch of projects -- not one per project. One reason is that ere is a lot of shared effort -- for instance, there are multiple packages that require the HDF5 libs -- the code to build HDF5 itself should be shared, ideally. This may not work with with the travis links -- if everything in a repo would need to be rebuilt when only one had been changed, though. > There are currently terryfy-based wheel-building projects for h5py > [3], numpy / scipy [5], matplotlib [6], cython [7], scikit-image [8], > scikit-learn [9], pandas [10], Pillow [11], tornado [12], > numexpr [13] and Markupsafe [14].
