Mercurial wheels uploaded to PyPI ?

[PIERRE AUGIER]

Hello,

I see that there are no Mercurial wheels uploaded on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/mercurial/#files

Is it on purpose?

Nowadays, building wheels for the main OS/platforms is really simple and common (https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel).

Having wheels would be useful. On Linux, I find it very convenient to install Mercurial with pipx so that Mercurial has its own isolated virtual env (in which one can easily install/manage extensions).

pipx install mercurial
pipx inject mercurial hg-git hg-evolve

Note that since there are wheels for Dulwich (https://pypi.org/project/dulwich/#files), hg-git can now be installed without compilation (on Linux/Windows/macOS).
