📄 Description

Here's my attempt at using CI systems to run automated builds of Brotli Python extension module.

You can see the latest build logs here:
https://travis-ci.org/anthrotype/brotli
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/anthrotype/brotli

Only Windows (via Appveyor) and OS X (via Travis) are supported here.
PyPI does not accept precompiled Linux wheels anyway: see http://pythonwheels.com/

On Windows, I test both 32 and 64-bit Python, 2.7.x and 3.4.x. The extension is compiled using MSVC 2010.

On OS X, I use the MacPython/terrify utilities in order to download and configure different python setups.

I could successfully compile Brotli on Apple's system Python (2.7.x), as well as on Homebrew Python 2.7.10 and 3.4.3. However, I was not able to build Brotli using official Python installers from Python.org. The latter are compiled using OS X 10.6 SDK and GCC 4.2, which don't support advanced C++0x features required by Brotli.

We could configure both appveyor.yml and .travis.yml to deploy the compiled wheels to some public wheelhouse (even directly upload to PyPI) whenever a new release is tagged.

E.g. http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/pypi/

Let me know what you think.
Thanks
