Missing arm64 MacOS wheel packages

[Kentalot]

It'd be nice to include this distribution in pypi. Thanks!

Bumping this issue, running in to the same problem when trying to conda install -c bioconda pybedtools.

I get the following error:

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - pybedtools

Current channels:

  - https://conda.anaconda.org/bioconda/osx-arm64
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/bioconda/noarch
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/osx-arm64

Regarding the conda package, this is an issue with with entire bioconda channel, not just pybedtools (pybedtools is one of 8000+ packages on bioconda).

The resources, expertise, and volunteer time do not exist yet to re-build everything in the bioconda channel for this architecture.

Separately, I do not currently have an arm64 machine available to build a wheel on pypi but will build one when I can.

Gotcha, thanks for the update!

For now, I managed to fix my issue by installing pybedtools via pip and then installing bedtools separately and adding it to the path of my system (macOS 13.1), in case that might help anyone running into a similar problem.

arm64 builds are still pending for bioconda many months later...as this is not a pybedtools-specific issue, closing this issue.
