Working with Conda

[joaogui1]

Since I'm using conda I don't have a set PYTHONPATH, can you help me out? I tried using conda develop and pointing to the repo, but despite it being added to the path. Output of python -c "import sys; print(sys.path)"

['', '/home/joaogui/miniconda3/lib/python37.zip', '/home/joaogui/miniconda3/lib/python3.7', '/home/joaogui/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/home/joaogui/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/home/joaogui/Downloads/matplotlib-backend-kitty']

I've not used Conda, but I suspect the path you want to set is to the folder containing your matplotlib-backend-kitty folder. In your case that would just be /home/joaogui/Downloads.

I don't use conda either, so I'm not sure if there's a recommended way to do this.

Adding /home/joaogui/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages to sys.path probably does not work as PYTHONPATH expects a list of directories containing packages instead of a list of packages.

You already seem to have a site-packages directory for conda at /home/joaogui/miniconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages. I'd expect that cloning this repository to that directory would allow conda's python to pick it up.

If this works for you, I'll probably amend the readme to this effect.

Hello. I was having the same issue and I managed to solve it by cloning this repo into ~/user/miniconda3/envs/myenv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/IPython/extensions, where myenv is the name of the env I installed it to. Maybe it could be possible to makea package that does exactly this and publish it to conda-forge?

I've tried clarifying the usage of PYTHONPATH and site-packages directories in the readme.

I don't currently plan to publish packages for this in the pip or conda repositories.
