Python 3.7 wheels on PyPI

[David Hagen]

Python 3.7.0 was released June 2018. python-libsbml 5.17.0 was released May 2018. As a consequence, there are no Python 3.7 wheels available for install via pip. This means that the package is compiled from source whenever it is installed in Python 3.7, which takes a long time (but does work, at least on Linux!). Could wheels for Python 3.7 be uploaded? You can drop support for Python 3.4, which went end-of-life in March 2019.

Dear David

Thanks for your email. The good news is that the next libSBML release, currently in production, will support Python 3.7 across all platforms.

Best regards
Brett

Hi David,

you can just install the experimental version for python 3.7 (which is stable in the core features)

pip install python-libsbml-experimental

Just checked in a virtualenv and works fine in python3.7.

Best Matthias

Thank you. I await for the next release.

Just as a follow up. Python 3.7 binaries are available as part of the recent 5.18 release.
