The National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded The Trustees of Princeton University a $580,377 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) for the period of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The grant funding will support simplifying compiled Python packaging in the sciences through streamlining the development and maintenance of scientific Python packages with compiled code. This will be accomplished by improving the integration of scikit-build and CMake to provide researchers with easier access to binary extensions. Key products and services include redesigning scikit-build on standardized packaging procedures, providing tutorials and training, integrating popular scientific libraries with the new scikit-build infrastructure, and collaborating with software projects like NumPy, SciPy, and RAPIDS to test features. Kitware, Inc. was awarded a sub-grant of unspecified value to further these efforts through its expertise in software development and distribution.
