Release OCP 7.7.2.1

[akoen]

Hi!

I see that OCP version 7.7.2.1 was released in May. I'd really like to use it's functionality (IMesh_Tools) in my meshing package https://github.com/stellarmesh/stellarmesh. Is there a plan or timeline for releasing this version on PyPI?

Thanks!

The timeline is as soon as possible. We've been fighting some build issues though. Hopefully within the next week or so we will be able to release 7.7.2.1.

Fantastic @jmwright great to hear

All - Please download the correct wheel for your platform and Python version and do a test installation. Once these have been tested, I will publish them to PyPI. During the installation, cadquery-vtk will be downloaded from PyPI since it is no longer embedded inside the OCP wheel.

This has been completed.

There was an issue with the VTK dependency that is causing this wheel not to work properly for certain use cases, so I am reopening this issue.

@akoen FYI cadquery-ocp 7.8+ has been released on pypi for a few days. Can you confirm if this solves this issue? I took a quick look on my install and it looks like IMeshTools is available

Works great on my end!

@akoen Thanks for reporting back.
