-# Python packaging scripts.
-
-Note that packages will be placed in `bindings/python/packaging/dist` with the
-canonical instructions. However, the setup scripts can be run from anywhere and
-will create `build` and `dist` directories where run. Wheels can be installed
-with `pip3 install --user dist/*.whl`.
-
-## Building core wheels with CMake
-
-Most of IREE is built/packaged with CMake. For the parts that build with CMake,
-this is preferred.
-
-Canonical instructions follow:
-
-### Linux
-
-```shell
-export LDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=/usr/bin/ld.lld-10
-export PYIREE_CMAKE_BUILD_ROOT=$HOME/build-iree-release
-export IREE_SRC=$HOME/src/iree
-rm -Rf $CMAKE_BUILD_ROOT; mkdir -p $CMAKE_BUILD_ROOT
-cmake -GNinja -B$CMAKE_BUILD_ROOT -H$IREE_SRC \
-  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-  -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ \
-  -DIREE_BUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS=ON -DIREE_BUILD_SAMPLES=OFF
-(cd $CMAKE_BUILD_ROOT && ninja)
-(cd $IREE_SRC/bindings/python/packaging && (
-rm -Rf build;
-python3 setup_compiler.py bdist_wheel;
-rm -Rf build;
-python3 setup_rt.py bdist_wheel))
-```
-
-## Building IREE/TensorFlow wheels
-
-If building TensorFlow integration wheels, then this must be done via Bazel. In
-this case, it can be easiest to just package everything from a Bazel build to
-avoid multiple steps.
-
-Canonical instructions follow:
-
-### Env Setup
-
-```shell
-IREE_SRC=$HOME/src/iree
-export PYIREE_BAZEL_BUILD_ROOT="$IREE_SRC/bazel-bin"
-if which cygpath; then
-  export PYIREE_BAZEL_BUILD_ROOT="$(cygpath -w "$PYIREE_BAZEL_BUILD_ROOT")"
-fi
