Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to create a feedstock so that PyNite can be included in the conda-forge repository. I have recently done this for forallpeople and, if you are interested, I can do it for PyNite also.

Describe the solution you'd like conda-forge uses a repo called staged-recipes to add packages that are already published to PyPI to conda-forge. Anyone can submit a package (I found out that someone else had already submitted handcalcs!). The package author/maintainer just needs to add a comment on the pull request indicating that they consent. After the package is added, then updates are automatically pulled from PyPI whenever a new version is published.

The important part to know is that it does not create extra work! :)

Describe alternatives you've considered N/A

Additional context Publishing to conda-forge provides an option for the installation of PyNite where a user is unable to install from PyPI (due to company policies).
