Easy pip install for llvmlite

[VelizarVESSELINOV]

Today llvmlite requires complex installation, outside conda environment.
Please consider providing binary packages for llvmlite, TensorFlow is able to provide pre-build packages you should be able as well, in case you are looking for massive usage except a few geeks that are happy to spend time to install it locally.

  Failed building wheel for llvmlite

[seibert]

This is something we are working on. See #222 for work towards this.

@seibert Is it fair to say this issue should be closed? That's what it looks like on #222.

More specifically, I require numba for several of my packages, and (despite my best efforts) many of my users are intransigent regarding conda, so it would be nice if they could just use pip. Can I tell them it's safe to do so if my code relies on numba?

[seibert]

I think we can close this issue in llvmlite, unless people find problems. We discovered that our Numba wheel is slightly out of spec because it links to the libpython shared library (which wheels are apparently not supposed to do). We'll be looking to fix that for the next release in a few weeks:

numba/numba#2555

I just stumbled over this ancient issue. llvmlite has been pip installable for many years, so closing. 🎉
