Uploading the package to pipy

Build the binary wheel:

rm -rf dist
python setup.py sdist

The first time:

twine register dist/*.tar.gz

For latter releases:

twine upload -s dist/*.tar.gz

Updating the conda package

The conda package has its own git repository at:

https://github.com/conda-forge/libsemigroups-python-bindings-feedstock

The relevant files are: * [meta.yaml](meta.yaml) * [build.sh](build.sh)

To update the package:

• Update the version and md5sum in meta.yaml

• Install conda and go into your conda environment. See the getting started section in the Conda documentation for details.

• Run:

  conda build .
  

• Try it with:

  conda install --use-local libsemigroups
  

• Publish it: see https://conda-forge.github.io/

Trick to debug segmentation faults

Install Sage

Install gdb in Sage:

sage -i gdb

Run sage as:

sage -gdb

and type the commands that trigger the segfault. Then gdb will be fired automatically, allowing for analysing the stack trace.
