Request to publish wheels for this package

Hi! Thank you for making this package ❤️

I am using a build tool called bazel which only works with python wheels: https://github.com/tubular/rules_pygen

It seems that wheels are currently not published for the pandocfilters package. Please could you publish wheels for this package?

The instructions at https://pythonwheels.com/ may be helpful, it says that once you have installed the wheel package, where you would normally run python setup.py sdist, instead you can run python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel.

Thanks!

Do you want me to manage the package at PyPI too? In that case you’ll need to invite me as maintainer at PyPI as well. The handle is the same (ickc.)

A few things I probably will be working on:

• go through the issues/PRs
• add CI testing, perhaps improve the “Compatibility” section in the README
• may be add type annotations, which means that at some point we’re going to drop Python2
  • do a final release for Python2 first before dropping it
• improve the dist as mention in this issue
  • may work with conda-forge recipe maintainer(s) to add run constrains matching pandoc versions.

Does that sound good?

I think it will be more about maintaining than adding any new things. As I’m helping maintaining panflute too, that would be the recommended tool to use. But there exists an ecosystem (especially in the backend like RMarkdown, jupyter) that depends on this so this should be continued to be maintained in the foreseeable future.

That all sounds good to me.
