Publish binary wheel with RocksDB included

[bauerj]

Hey,

since it's not trivial to find and build a rocksdb version that works with this library, it would make sense to publish binary wheels on PyPi that include rocksdb.

Tools like https://github.com/joerick/cibuildwheel make creating such wheels easy and automated.

@bauerj

thanks for your great advise.

[bauerj]

Let me know if I should send a PR!

@bauerj

it's welcome to send a PR if you have interest.

I agree it would be very useful, @bauerj did you solved that?

pybind11 branch is already bundled with a specific version of rocksdb.

Try pip install after cloning the branch.

After a year of not working on this, I finally got around to implement this: #67

@twmht i was wondering if you can take another look at the work @bauerj did here? i tried to deploy python-rocksdb to the Pivotal Cloud Foundry platform and only his binary wheel solution worked.

compiling using the pybind11 branch failed due to missing snappy package. there are many restrictions on the Pivotal Cloud Foundry platform due to security reasons. so one can't easily add new linux packages or libraries.

sorry for very busy these months. I will look into the recent issues.
