Create fatiando metapackage #31

Closed santisoler closed 2 years ago

santisoler commented 3 years ago

Description

Would be nice to publish a fatiando metapackage to PyPI and conda-forge so any user can install the latest release of all Fatiando a Terra libraries on a single line, as we used to install the old fatiando package:

pip install fatiando
conda install -c conda-forge fatiando

When doing so we should update the docs of fatiando v0.5 so anyone interested using the old package can still use it.

Now that I think about this, it will create a lot of confusion with people trying to import fatiando after installing this in Python 3 and not getting anything. The use case is also very limited so probably not worth doing it. Thoughts?

Giving up on this to avoid problems with people looking for the old Python 2.7 package. It's better if they get an error instead.
