I used to use PTB on MATLAB some years ago (10?) but since then moved to Python. I just heard that PTB has made some progress in Python, but the PyPi releases appear to be source ones (at least&nbsp;`pip install psychtoolbox`&nbsp;on my macOS machine does a source install). cc&nbsp;[@peircej](https://github.com/peircej)&nbsp;since I think you're mentioned as working on this?

If it would be helpful, I'm happy to set up automated PyPi wheel builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows using&nbsp;[cibuildwheel](https://github.com/joerick/cibuildwheel). I've done it for&nbsp;[VisPy](https://github.com/vispy/vispy/pull/1663)&nbsp;and more recently&nbsp;[python-rtmixer](https://github.com/spatialaudio/python-rtmixer/pull/16). All in all it's pretty painless, but there are a bunch of steps (setting up Azure pipelines is the most annoying part). Having done it recently, though, I'm familiar with the required steps so can walk someone through what a repo owner/maintainer has to do.

Cross-posting with&nbsp;[https://github.com/Psychtoolbox-3/Psychtoolbox-3/issues/587](https://github.com/Psychtoolbox-3/Psychtoolbox-3/issues/587)&nbsp;because I'm actually not sure which is the correct place. Feel free to close/shut down conversation in whichever place is wrong.
