I have a Python package that depends on binaries. I've build the linux version and it is available on PyPI. The key was setting the package_data argument to ensure the *.so files were also uploaded to PyPI.
Now I want to do the same thing with Windows, which obviously require *.dll dependencies, rather than *.so. When uploading my package to PyPI, is it possible to upload *.so files for when a user downloads my package on a linux platform and *.dll files for when a user is on windows. The issue I'm foreseeing is that if I have to upload all binaries for all platforms, my package will quickly exceed the size limit for PyPI.
This is what compatibility tags for built distributions are for.
For example, consider https://pypi.org/project/numpy/#files. It publishes the following wheels:
numpy-1.18.5-cp38-cp38-macosx_10_9_x86_64.whlnumpy-1.18.5-cp38-cp38-manylinux1_i686.whlnumpy-1.18.5-cp38-cp38-manylinux1_x86_64.whlnumpy-1.18.5-cp38-cp38-win32.whlnumpy-1.18.5-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whlEach of these contain the platform-specific dependencies for the given platform.
