Distribute package as a universal wheel

jdufresne · jdufresne · commit 9192555cfb26 · 2018-10-31T16:59:33.000-07:00
Wheels are the modern standard of Python distribution Advantages of wheels: - Faster installation - Avoids arbitrary code execution for installation by avoiding setup.py - Allows better caching for testing and continuous integration - Creates .pyc files as part of installation to ensure they match the Python interpreter used - More consistent installs across platforms When you'd normally run `python3 setup.py sdist upload`, run instead `python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel upload`.
