pysipp release

[y-luis-rojo]

Is there any plan to make a pysipp release in a short time?

@y-luis I think this is a good idea.
I'm not actively working on this project any more but if we can wrap up the PRs you've brought in I think we might as well push a 0.1.0 to pypi.

@y-luis @vodik @wdoekes so just to clear up the rumours.

My plan is

• push a first version to pypi that will be the last version which supports python 2.7
  • we'll need to document this of course
  • Question: is it cool to be pushing a python package that requires an external program to be installed? Right now I believe an error will be raised on import or at the least at runtime.
• port the process launching code to selectors which should give us cross-platform support for free (i.e. as per Support for OS X #16 and Can't import pysipp after install #34)

Anyone who wants to help with that last bit is greatly welcomed!

@goodboy Any news on getting a release done? At least an alpha version for pypi with the current state of master branch?

[goodboy]

Hey @luismartingil yes this definitely needs to get done.
Sticking on my sticky note list!

I'll see what I can do this week.

[goodboy]

It'd be nice to see #46 land before this.

@luismartingil @y-luis As I'm sure it's clear I haven't been maintaining this project very well for some time as I'm not using it for any project work currently. Is there any interest in helping on that front?

It would be good to have some contributors who are using the project to possibly help with a release process and CI maintenance at the least.

[y-luis-rojo]

@goodboy, currently I am not working on any related project and I am afraid I will not have enough time for the time being, but thanks for asking.

[luismartingil]

@goodboy I believe we can start taking the lead here. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks

[goodboy]

@luismartingil first thing is getting the outstanding blocker issues complete to get a first alpha release out.

Right now this includes:

• testing to get pypy working manually and then in travis
• closing out the remaining bug issues via PRs and testing

Again sorry it turns out I won't have time to look at this until at least beginning of next month.

[goodboy]

Do we care about OS X support for this release team?

I'm thinking let's get something up and move onto dropping py2.7!
