Provide an ubuntu package #347

Closed fkromer closed 4 years ago

fkromer commented 4 years ago

Description

kedro allows users to encapsulate projects into Docker containers with kedro-docker. This means for running a kedro project kedro and kedro plugins are the only Python package dependencies in the OS, user or virtualenv (project) level.

Context

If kedro would be available as package for Ubuntu (snap, flatpak) users would not have to care about this Python runtime dependency at all.

Possible Implementation

Ubuntu: snap, flatpak

I've created an experimental snap which works quite well.

Possible Alternatives

?

@fkromer Thank you for using Kedro and your suggestion/feedback!

We discussed this option internally just now. We understand that some Python packages with C-extensions might be available in snap. However Kedro is written in pure Python and Pypi is the community standard for a Python package. Therefore, unfortunately, we decided not to publish Kedro on snap.

Kedro is also in conda btw https://github.com/quantumblacklabs/kedro/issues/313#issuecomment-617753974

I'm closing this issue, but feel free to reopen it if you have further questions.
