The prebuilt whl package of snowboy seems to have wrong name

[hongquan]

Describe the bug
I built snowboy on my RPI 3 to wheel package and uploaded to https://repo.fury.io/fossasia/. The file is named snowboy-1.3.0-py3-none-any.whl, but I suspect that this name is wrong. This package contains some *.so binary, compiled from C/C++ code. That *.so file will be different between ARM and x86, so the name suffix of package cannot be none-any. It should be linux_armv7l.

With the suffix none-any, I worry that pip on PC will mistakenly download this file and install, while the file was built for ARM7.

What to do

Try to fix setup.py build script.

Normally, the pure-Python packages have none-any suffix.

@woshikie, you don't have snowboy on your laptop? What is its name?

[sansyrox]

@hongquan , we do not have any setup.py script

@hongquan I have made some changes and it's compiling into correct names on my ubuntu
Kitt-AI/snowboy#475

@stealthanthrax we're trying to build snowboy into a wheel package for we can use pip3/pip to install from our own repository

@hongquan
here's a compiled wheel for armv6, compiled using Pi Zero W
snowboy-1.3.0-cp35-cp35m-linux_armv6l.whl.zip
and here's a compiled wheel for 64bit linux
snowboy-1.3.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl.zip

@woshikie You have full permission on Gemfury repo. Please upload the file.

By the way, I'm looking for the better way to fix the setup.py script. Learning from other projects who also have Python modules built from Swig, they all use distutils.core.Extension or setuptools.extensions.Extension to build C/C++ code and hence, generating correct name.

Example:

• http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libcdio/pycdio.git/tree/

I meant snowboy's setup.py script.
