Also build +test universal wheels on macOS ARM M1 chips

[pombredanne]

Since ARM is Apple's new default, it would make sense to ensure things work on ARM M1 chips

+1... I'm having trouble installing pyahocorasick on my Fusion Ubuntu machine running on Mac M1 ARM sillicon. This is a blocker to installing scancode @pombredanne.

@rnjudge I want to make this work: do you know if there is a free CI where I could run or test a macOS ARM builds?
@heliocastro you are suffering too.

What could we do? Is there something to do to help? a Ci using QEMU? or someone sponsoring the expenses to run a macOS ARM CI?

[pombredanne]

NB: the latest 2.0.0 will have a universal build for macOS..... the wheels may run on your machine. Fingers crossed.

https://pypi.org/project/pyahocorasick/2.0.0/ is out ... @rnjudge @heliocastro do you mind testing this with this: note that this WILL NOT run out of the box on ARM Linux, but it should run natively on macOS ARM.
Start with a clean ARM shell (not under rosetta):

mkdir venv 
wget -O venv/virtualenv.pyz https://bootstrap.pypa.io/virtualenv/virtualenv.pyz
python3 venv/virtualenv.pyz --never-download --seeder pip  \
  --pip embed --setuptools embed --wheel embed \
  --no-vcs-ignore --no-periodic-update ./venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install pyahocorasick==2.0.0 pytest
git clone https://github.com/WojciechMula/pyahocorasick
cd pyahocorasick
pytest -vvs 

Thanks!
