Right now there's a 64-bit wheel for windows. I'd find it helpful if there were a 32-bit one as well.

Also for Python 3 (various versions)... To work around this lack of wheels I made my own AppVeyor build just to do this.

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/KyleAltendorf/twisted

Just the matrix across python versions:

And the build script:

%PYTHON_HOME%\python -m pip install wheel
%PYTHON_HOME%\python setup.py bdist_wheel

I uploaded them for personal use to [http://fstab.net/pypi/simple/twisted].

No windows wheels for win32

IOCPReactor is being separated out of the rest of Twisted per #8951. This is expected to be not too far away (I'm being vague since I'm not the one doing it and hey, volunteer work and all). When this happens Twisted should be pure Python (no need for more bit-depths etc of binary wheels) and IOCPReactor is expected to be provided in binary form for more platforms/distributions.

Welp, got started today and have first-pass automated builds for Windows and Linux anyways.

#1051

Wheels are being tested over in #1067.

Expected future steps include:

• Testing wheels instead of source #9530
• Automatic deployment to PyPI on release tags #9531
• Automatic version numbering (supposedly there's a ticket, I haven't found it yet)
