Ice 3.6.2.1 PyPi distribution wheel/build requirements

I have a couple questions about the current PyPi distribution:

  1. I was hoping to see wheels for linux, is there a reason you don't supply those?

  2. The main question: Since there isn't a wheel for linux (I'm using Ubuntu 16.04), and pip install zeroc-ice builds from source, is there a list of dependency requirements or build instructions? I keep having to attempt to build the package to wait for the next error to know what I have to install next (openssl, libbz2-dev, python3-dev, etc.)

Thanks for your time.

    There isn't a good solution for building binary wheels that works across linux distros, source pip seems more appropriate for this case.

    For building in Ubuntu 16.04 you need to install the following packages:

    libbz2-dev
libssl-dev
python-dev or python3-dev

    We will improve the docs to mention those requirements
