windows wheel files not available

[plasticav]

I'm trying to install zeep[xmlsec] on a windows system with Python 3.6. It results in the following,

Installing collected packages: xmlsec
  Running setup.py install for xmlsec: started
    Running setup.py install for xmlsec: finished with status 'error'
    Complete output from command D:\home\python364x64\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='D:\\local\\Temp\\pip-install-l510dnt_\\xmlsec\\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record D:\local\Temp\pip-record-p1y7cdcl\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile:

    error: HTTP Error 404: The specified blob does not exist.
    
    ----------------------------------------

to what I can tell, it looks like the libxml and xmlsec wheel files were hosted on appveyor, but they don't have them anymore. Can we please get them hosted again?

the appveyour changes its policy about retention build artifacts.
if someone knows where this files may be posted instead of appveyour - welcome.
I cannot just rebuild projects since build rules have been changed and build fails.
I anyone can fix this, please make PR for repository https://github.com/bgaifullin/libxml2-win-binaries.

[plasticav]

@bgaifullin if the issue is hosting, can we consider using github releases for the wheel files?

[plasticav]

Alternatively, has pythonhosted.org been considered?

https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/

[bgaifullin]

@plasticav the github releases can be used, but need to change scripts for uploading into github after build. Can you do this?
about pythonhosted.org, there is libxml2 binaries for windows, and I am not sure, that it can be hosted on pythonhosted.org.

[plasticav]

Am on a work account - will give it a try and send a PR from my personal account when I'm done.

Not only the wheel. The pip build (pip install xmlsec) and manual install (python setup.py install) options do not work either.

Getting the following error:

zipfile.BadZipfile: File is not a zip file

You can see this is the same error in the wheel's build too:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/bgaifullin/python-xmlsec/build/job/ed6uyd5t68gscyv3

This issue is not resolved. This is a circular issue reference if you read to the bottom of 35. It is currently a big blocker for me.

[bgaifullin]

the latest windows binaries are available here https://github.com/mehcode/python-xmlsec/releases/tag/1.3.5

Any movement on this? I am getting the same issue. On python 2.7 I get a badzip error, and on python 3.7 I get ci.appveyor.com is no longer available.

Hi there, I don't see any release for Python 3.7.x environment on windows. Can you please please make a release? Tried with Python 3.6 release did not worked:

ERROR: xmlsec-1.3.52.dev0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
