Do snaps support Windows and/or MacOS?

If you want a package manager that supports installing binaries on Linux, Windows and MacOS, I suggest you try out conda: https://conda.io/docs/ Building conda packages uses a tool named conda-build (both are open source): https://conda.io/docs/building/recipe.html

Conda powers the Anaconda software distribution, published by Continuum Analytics. Many conda-build recipes are available publicly: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-recipes For example here is the conda-build recipe for Python 3.6.1: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-recipes/blob/master/python-3.6/meta.yaml There are also a growing number of community-maintained recipes and packages: https://conda-forge.github.io/

Disclaimer: I work for Continuum (though not on Conda nor Anaconda).

Regards

Antoine.
