Thanks for this PR!

I like this approach in general, but it seems that the "cross-platform package creation" doesn't work anymore.
This means that the CI doesn't create platform-specific wheels anymore:

python-sounddevice/.github/workflows/publish.yml

Lines 18 to 19 in 2748f70

	- name: Build binary wheels and a source tarball
	run: ./make_dist.sh

[abelgladstone]

@mgeier thank you for the reply. I will try make an effort to get the platform specific builds to work as well. Will get back to you soon.

Unfortunately my little home PC is stuck on windows the output filename is as expected on a win64_amd64.

The make_dist script works as expected.

As a consequence of intercepting the filename. I had to move the version to a separate VERSION file. So that I can read it without any fuss. I hope that this is acceptable.

BTW Thank you for a wonderful little library. I cannot tell you how much I use this.

[mgeier]

Thanks for the quick update!

I need some more time to review and test this thoroughly, but in the meantime I was wondering whether we should enable building the wheels on PRs: #561. Because otherwise we don't know whether this PR really works, right?

[mgeier]

I guess this should be ...

Suggested change

	def prepare_meta_for_build_wheel(config_settings=None):
	def prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel(config_settings=None):

... but the whole function seems unnecessary, since it is imported already?

[abelgladstone]

Agreed.

[mgeier]

I've merged #561, can you please rebase this PR?

[abelgladstone]

Done

[mgeier]

Thanks!

The wheels are available here: https://github.com/spatialaudio/python-sounddevice/actions/runs/11293700433?pr=560

Now all of them contain all binaries, but each should only contain the binaries for their own platform.

[mgeier]

I guess this causes all wheels to contain all binaries. This should be limited.

Also, the sdist now also contains the binaries, but it shouldn't.

[abelgladstone]

Thanks for the review. I'll get back to you soon.

[abelgladstone]

After many tries I am unable to find a way to build the project without the setup.py file in which case what is in the project is already good enough IMO.

[mgeier]

Thanks a lot for your efforts anyway!

AFAIU, the problem is that package-data cannot be set dynamically depending on the platform, while that is possible in setup.py with package_data.

Maybe future changes to setuptools will make this possible, or maybe we'll find a different build tool that supports this.

If anyone has an idea, please speak up!
