Overview
The Python Buildhaus is a project to systematically build, test and release Open Source Python packages on Windows, Mac OS X, and a wide array of other UNIX architectures and operating systems (see snakebite.org for list). In addition to providing machine access, software support, and process support, we hope to create a set of best practices and process documentation to help the community address cross-platform compatibility issues. We will also build tools to extend the impact of this effort beyond Michigan State by providing longer-lasting developer resources, e.g. tools to auto-build Python eggs and installers across multiple platforms.
This will be an open resource for the Python community.
Collaborators
The Python Buildhaus is a collaborative project between:
* Michigan State University / Computer Science and Engineering (Dr. C. Titus Brown and Dr. Bill Punch)
* the Python Software Foundation (Dr. Brown)
* Snakebite (Trent Nelson, Dr. Brown)
with support from Microsoft and HP.
