Currently Focused on Large Scale Automated Builds of C and C++ Software

[conan.io @conan_io]

Today we're introducing conan-py-build: a PEP 517 backend that brings Conan's C/C++ dependency management directly into pip wheel .

If you ship Python wheels with native code, this might save you a lot of CI glue.

Beta. Feedback welcome.
