scikit-build 0.6.0

[Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin]

On behalf of the scikit-build team, I am pleased to announce that the version 0.6.0 is available for download:

  pip install scikit-build

See http://scikit-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changes.html#scikit-build-0-6-0

Scikit-build 0.6.0

New features

• Improve py_modules support: Python modules generated by CMake are now
  properly included in binary distribution.

• Improve developer mode support for py_modules generated by CMake.

Bug fixes

• Do not implicitly install python modules when the beginning of their name
  match a package explicitly listed. For example, if a project has a package
  foo/__init__.py and a module fooConfig.py, and only package foo
  was listed in setup.py, fooConfig.py is not installed anymore.

• CMake module cmake-modules/targetLinkLibrariesWithDynamicLookup: Fix the
  caching of dynamic lookup variables. See #240 fixed by blowekamp.

Requirements

• wheel: As suggested by thewtex, unpinning version of the package by requiring >=0.29.0 instead of ==0.29.0 will avoid uninstalling a newer version of wheel package on up-to-date system.

Documentation

• Add a command line CMake Options section to Usage.

• Fix table listing Visual Studio IDE version and
  corresponding with CPython version in generators.

• Improve make_a_release section.

Tests

• Extend test_hello, test_setup, and test_sdist_hide_listing to (1) check if python modules are packaged into source and wheel distributions and (2) check if python modules are copied into the source tree when developer mode is enabled.

Internal API

• Fix skbuild.setuptools_wrap.strip_package to handle empty package.

• Teach skbuild.command.build_py.build_py.find_modules function to look
  for py_module file in CMAKE_INSTALL_DIR.

• Teach skbuild.utils.PythonModuleFinder](http://scikit-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/skbuild.utils.html#skbuild.utils.PythonModuleFinder) to search forpython module`
  in the CMake install tree.

• Update skbuild.setuptools_wrap._consolidate to copy file into the CMake
  tree only if it exists.

• Update skbuild.setuptools_wrap._copy_file to create directory only if
  there is one associated with the destination file.

Thanks
