Windows pip wheel / conda package

[GaelTouquet]

Hi, I'm interested in using Cassiopee on Windows and really glad to see the recent
v4.1 Windows binary release (Feb 2026) — that's a great step forward.

That said, for users who need Cassiopee to integrate with other scientific Python
packages in a managed environment (pip, conda), a standalone installer
isn't quite enough. A pip-installable wheel or conda package would bring it in line
with most of the scientific Python ecosystem and make it much more accessible.

1. Is a pip-installable wheel or conda package for Windows something being considered?
2. Would a PR working towards that goal be welcome? If so, are there any conventions
   or constraints I should be aware of before starting?

Thanks for the great work on the library — happy to contribute where useful.

Hi Gael,
Apologies for the late reply.

1. A pip-installable wheel for Windows is something we'd like to have before the next release of Cassiopee. We haven't started working on it yet. Currently, the wheel and conda package are only available on linux and the doc for conda/mamba is missing.
2. PR are always welcome. There are no conventions or constraints for this type of dev that isn't source code. It would be great to have it in the form of a github action similar to what was done for manylinux (https://github.com/onera/Cassiopee/blob/dev/.github/workflows/publish-pypi.yml).

I don't know how hard it's going to be but we can iterate if you're keen on giving it a go.
Thanks,
Vincent
