$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/pylibssh.git
$ cd pylibssh
$ pip install tox
$ tox -e build-dists

manylinux-compatible wheels:

$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/pylibssh.git
$ cd pylibssh
$ pip install tox
$ tox -e build-dists-manylinux1-x86_64  # with Docker

# or with Podman
$ DOCKER_EXECUTABLE=podman tox -e build-dists-manylinux1-x86_64

# to enable shell script debug mode use
$ tox -e build-dists-manylinux1-x86_64 -- -e DEBUG=1
