[Publish] Request to publish hip-python to pypi

[yaoyaoding]

Thanks for this great python binding for hip runtime libraries!

I am wondering is there any plan to publish this package to PyPI so that we can directly install with

$ pip install hip-python

and without specifying the extra-url to test pypi.

Thanks for using hip-python! Regarding your question: The decision has not been made yet.
Among other things, we are currently waiting for the PyPI organization account application process to reopen
(more details: https://discuss.python.org/t/state-of-pypi-organizations/33764/6).

@domcharrier thanks for sharing the progress! Looking forward to the release to pypi.

I will leave the issue here for any update on the pypi release (if you don't mind).

Please find below an example of an requirements.txt file where numba and numpy are obtained from (standard) PyPI but the remaining packages from Test PyPI (via --extra-index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/):

--extra-index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/
hip-python
hip-python-as-cuda
rocm-llvm-python
numba>=0.58
numpy

Via the --extra-index-url switch you can specify packages from different indexes in the same requirements.txt file.

Alternative: Set extra index url via pip config

Alternatively, you can do:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip config set global.extra-index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple

And then prescribe HIP Python package dependencies via a standard requirements.txt file (or pyproject.toml):

hip-python
hip-python-as-cuda
rocm-llvm-python
numba>=0.58
numpy
