Building Our PyWavelets for OS X Package
This page is technical documentation for Vespa developers who want to build our [PyWaveletsOsx PyWavelets for OS X] package.
In 2012 when we first built our own PyWavelets distribution for OS X, building this package was a bit complicated. Now in 2016, thanks to Python's new wheel format, it's a snap.
The Build Process
You first need to satisfy PyWavelets' build dependencies – Python, of course, as well as numpy
(I think) and Cython
. You'll also need the Python packages setuptools
and wheel
in order to build wheels. All of these come with Anaconda.
To build a wheel, download the PyWavelets source code, untar it, and then enter this command –
python setup.py bdist_wheel
Python will build PyWavelets for you and place a correctly-named wheel in the dist
directory.
