Conda packaging #42

Open JimZwartveld opened 2 years ago

JimZwartveld commented 2 years ago

Hi @connorferster !

Currently forallpeople (and handcalcs) are only available via pip. Do you aim to distribute your packages as conda packages as well?

Kind regards,

Jim

Hi @JimZwartveld,

Yes, I do aim in such a direction. Just have not gotten around to it yet. The conda package manager is desireable for commercial work because it is a vetted repository which, as I understand, provides some protection from "supply chain" attacks (given a no-pip policy is followed). Will be working on bug fixes and features over the winter solstice season :)

Well, the most commonly used repo is conda-forge which is just as good or bad as pip. It basically pulls the packages from pypi (pip) and then repackages them.

Are all the requirements for handcalcs/forallpeople already available on conda? If not then that would be the first step.
