I will try and make the meeting, should be on my way from work. The thing I would like to discuss if I make it is how to build and distribute fpm via PyPi. I have attempted to use cibuildwheel but with limited success. I am either doing something wrong or Fortran support through setuptools is quite limited.

Another option I’ve thought about is scikitbuild, but that would require us to use CMake.

Relevant GitHub issue: FPM pip installation · Issue #705 · fortran-lang/fpm · GitHub

Cc @awvwgk in case you have any ideas since you have way more experience with cross platform packaging.

That’s alright, I am just getting off work too so I won’t be able to stay for the full duration.

I added a workflow for building wheels, you can find the output here:

Python build and meson-python do produce the wrong compatibility tags (PEP-425), so I have to change them manually to py3-any-* so we don’t end up with half a dozen redundant wheels.

Enjoy your pip installable Fortran package manager!
