Hi,
I'm trying to use dulwich for a git backend in a project of mine.
I'm wondering how I should add it to the install_requires in setup.py.

On Windows, compiler availability cannot be assumed and I don't foresee performance issues with the --pure option.
However, this option cannot be added to setup.py easily. If I understand correctly this is only possible from pip 7.0 onward which is not in Ubuntu < 16.04.

If there was a wheel installation for Windows, that would work too of course. There is some discussion #222 #304 that sort of looks like someone implemented that. Nevertheless

pip install dulwich

fails on my Windows machine (because gcc is missing).
What is the status of that wheel installation right now?

What is dulwich-windows on PyPI? It doesn't explain much and just links back to the regular home page. Is it the aforementioned wheel build?

Are there other options that I haven't considered yet? Can you suggest a project that builds on top of dulwich and that I should look at for inspiration?

Kind regards,
Matthias

PS: On a side note, the --pure command has issues here https://www.dulwich.io/docs/index.html
I had to untangle the two dashes first.

Unfortunately that bug has the latest status; Gary was working on
Windows support, but he has been inactive for a while. I don't think
there is anything building the wheel.

I have no idea what that project is; it is unaffiliated to the Dulwich
project itself.

hg-git is probably a good source for inspiration.

Hope this helps,

Jelmer
