Hi,

since some people prefer conda over pip, what do you think about packaging it for anaconda? Packaging a pypi project for anaconda is actually quite simple and well explained: https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes. The conda forge bot will even automatically update the recipe once there is a new version on pypi.

This is a recipe that I just created with grayskull:

{% set name = "bibmanager" %}
{% set version = "1.3.2" %}

package:
  name: {{ name|lower }}
  version: {{ version }}

source:
  url: https://pypi.io/packages/source/{{ name[0] }}/{{ name }}/bibmanager-{{ version }}.tar.gz
  sha256: cc3f31fa5827cfcb8a57def8334b6b7aa7cfb4d4836fc24afa36094172f23f06

build:
  number: 0
  noarch: python
  entry_points:
    - bibm = bibmanager.__main__:main
  script: {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . -vv

requirements:
  host:
    - pip
    - python
  run:
    - numpy >=1.15.1
    - packaging >=17.1
    - prompt-toolkit >=3.0.5
    - pygments >=2.2.0
    - python
    - requests >=2.19.1

test:
  imports:
    - bibmanager
    - bibmanager.ads_manager
  commands:
    - pip check
    - bibm --help

    - pip

This sounds great! I'll take a look. Thanks a lot!

Hi Aaron! OK, the code can be installed now from conda-forge:

conda install -c conda-forge bibmanager

Setting up conda has been something that I've tried for long for my packages, so, this is a really great contribution! Do you mind if I add you to the list of contributors in the docs?

[AaronDavidSchneider]

Sure, I am glad I could help! Thank you for bibmanager! It is such a helpful tool!

[pcubillos]

Also, a question, have you done set up conda packages yourself? Because I'm not sure what's next after the conda feedstock repo has been created, do I need to update every time I release a new version? I'm guessing there must be a way to automate that from github/pypi, but I don't realy know.

[AaronDavidSchneider]

I have a package on forge. Whenever there is a new version on pypi you will receive an automated PR on the feedstock (might take a few hours until the bot creates the PR). You can then simply merge this PR when all tests completed. You will get notified about these PRs.

I think the readme of the feedstock explains it quite well: https://github.com/conda-forge/bibmanager-feedstock
