Support conda install

[jacksund]

Problem Description

Currently, pdoc is only available through pip install pdoc

Proposal

Allow installation for anaconda users via conda install -c conda-forge pdoc

Additional context

This would not require any changes to the pdoc repository.

Instead, this involves creating a conda feedstock that pulls builds from pypi. I'll assign myself as the maintainer for the feedstock repo, but welcome additions if others are interested.

you can follow along with the feedstock creation here

@mhils How do you upload releases to pypi? I'm not seeing a github workflow that does this or extra details in your docs. It might be worth adding a workflow like this one, which automatically uploads a new whl (and dist) to pypi each time you create a new release tag.

[mhils]

Releases are uploaded by CI, check out the deploy job. Can't link because on mobile :)

[jacksund]

Oh gotcha, I follow now. If you wanted, you could switch that custom twine job with the one I linked above. Does exactly the same thing using Twine, but also uploads a source distribution (tar.gz) to pypi as well. Having the tar.gz files on pypi would let me automate conda-forge releases.

I've manually uploaded an sdist for pdoc 11, #381 makes sure that we will do that automatically in the future. :)

Awesome, thank you!

My feedstock request is pending review, so I'll close this issue once that goes through.

[jacksund]

just an update: the feedstock was approved and should be live in the next 24hrs

[jacksund]

Anaconda users can now install pdoc with...

conda install -c conda-forge pdoc

@mhils if you ever think a bug exists solely for conda installs (i.e. can't be reproduced with pip), send them my way.

Some helpful links:

• pdoc-feedstock repo (for reporting issues)
• anaconda install page
