About
Milksnake is an open-source setuptools extension designed for Python developers to efficiently distribute dynamic linked libraries within Python wheels. This tool stands out by offering a flexible hook to integrate custom build processes, such as those using 'cargo' for Rust binaries, directly into the Python packaging workflow. Unlike other projects that focus on Python extension modules, Milksnake aims to build regular native libraries that are then loaded at runtime using CFFI. This approach ensures greater portability across various platforms including Linux, Mac, and Windows, often requiring only a few universal wheels regardless of the number of Python interpreters targeted. It supports common setuptools commands like `bdist_wheel`, `build`, `build_ext`, and `develop`, and can generate universal wheels for broad compatibility.
