Description

This is possible with the "manylinux" platform tag.

See https://github.com/pypa/manylinux
And https://github.com/pypa/python-manylinux-demo

The builds can be done on travis-ci (though requires opting out of the container-based configuration).

Installation from binary wheels are almost always preferable to end users compared to the current option - building from source. Binary wheels are faster to install, have fewer dependencies, and there are fewer failures that can be encountered.
