Description

🚀 Feature

Make binaries of torchvision for ppc64le available to download e.g. via anaconda.

Motivation

I'm trying to use pytorch and torchvision on ppc64le. Installing from source is really non trivial and I rely on https://github.com/open-ce/open-ce for downloading some releases of torchvision. Since this is an open-source software, the latest versions of torchvision (and pytorch) are always lacking. I need the latest versions available in order to keep up with the latest research.

After a few google searches, it seems that I'm not the only one faced with this problem. Allowing for an easy install of torchvision on ppc64le would allow the community to stop wasting time on installs and focus on research.
