publish wheels

[dimbleby]

• publish wheels as well as sdists
• direct invocation of setup.py is deprecated these days, prefer build to create those distributions
• fix the makefile so that it uses the virtual environment that it creates

Thank you @dimbleby

May I ask the context for your request? Are you using this library or is this a generic concern?

P.S. I was going to improve the build and publication process, though I was thinking jump in the deep end, and go for uv and trusted publishing... That being said, I like simplicity of this PR.

I'll get back to this after #1186 where pyproject.toml is introduced and perhaps setup.py can be dropped.

WDYT about this: cb4a962 inspired by your PR?

If you want to work in uv-world then I would simply replace python -m build with uv build.

Your commit leaves a virtualenv created but unused - though that is a side-issue.

I'm here not as a user but just someone trying to make the python ecosystem better, one project at a time...

Thank you @dimbleby , I didn't think uv build would work out of the box, but it does indeed!

Closing this PR, as I've added uv build in #1186

Thank you for pointing me to the obvious!
