conda as base? #261

Open pseudotensor opened 8 months ago

pseudotensor commented 8 months ago

Can one use conda python and its framework as base here? I have trouble with pygobject that only seems to have mysys2 support in windows, or also conda. Normal python has no ability to build/use pygobject (cannot pip install pygobject). This is used for GTK related things, or in my case python-doctr for document parsing using OCR.

Pynsist cannot use conda packages, but if you want a similar tool based on conda, look at conda constructor.

Pygobject on Windows is difficult (at least without conda). There used to be a Windows pygobject installer we could extract the built libraries from, but it was only compatible with an old version of Python and didn't seem to be updated. I haven't looked for a few years for a newer option, though.
