PyPI Package

[JacobHenner]

Hello,

It would be excellent if the pyremctl package was available on PyPI. Of course anyone could upload it, but it seems like that responsibility should be left with the maintainer(s).

Please let me know if I can assist in any way.

I've been slowly moving things in that direction but hadn't made much of a push because I wasn't sure if there was an audience (given that it's useless without a remctl library). But if you have a use case, that's a good reason for me to finish up the last bits of process to do that.

I do have a use case 🙂

As for

it's useless without a remctl library

Wouldn't this be addressed if it were distributed as a Python wheel?

Maybe? I have no idea how that works. Does that somehow link the extension statically? Presumably you still need a system GSS-API and Kerberos library too, though, right?

I was planning on just uploading it with whatever the default PyPI thing is; not sure if that will create the most useful artifacts.

I suppose it's not the end of the world if people have to separately install libremctl from wherever (probably their distribution). It would still be useful for virtualenvs, etc.
