Consider providing pre-built PyPI wheels

[tvercaut]

To ease usage of the package in python, it would be nice to provide pre-built PyPI wheels. This can hopefully be nicely done by exploiting this work:

Many thanks! I have released binaries for v0.0.4 on pypi and github for windows and mac

This could not be done yet for ubuntu as pypi accepts manylinux binaries and pytorch has some issues with compiling these cleanly (see: pytorch/builder#468).

The workflow for generating these binaries is under https://github.com/masadcv/torchmaxflow/blob/main/.github/workflows/build-whl-publish.yml

I will switch to torch-extension-builder in coming days when CPU and Windows support is added in:
charliebudd/torch-extension-builder#14

and

charliebudd/torch-extension-builder#13

binaries are available through pypi installation: https://pypi.org/project/torchmaxflow

Closing this issue as pre-built binaries have been released.

Looking at the setup.py it seems this package does not provide a gpu implementation (there are no .cu files). Is this correct? If so, maybe a comment in the top-level readme would be nice.

@dyollb yes that's correct, it does not provide GPU implementation. I will update readme to indicate this.
