Hi !

Thanks for this amazing package !

It would be a plus to make installation possible via conda

Many thanks

Julie

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have never used conda and don't know much about it.

Could you give me more information about how packages get selected to be built there? I notice that some of my other packages like marginaleffects and modelsummary are there, without me doing anything special.

I've never installed a package on conda either 😅

I simply use conda to install packages in conda environment to avoid install conflicts

I find this link that can be interresting : https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/latest/user-guide/tutorials/build-pkgs.html

Thanks a lot for the link. I looked at it, but I don't use conda, and most of it read like gibberish to me. Unfortunately, I think this would take too much time for me to do, so I probably won't do it myself.

I would be very happy to answer questions and support someone who would like to submit the package to conda-forge: https://conda-forge.org/

For someone familiar with conda, I don't think this would much work at all. But realistically, I'm not going to do that in the short run.

Thanks for trying the package out and raising the issue!

The optimistic view is that many of my packages are already on the main conda repo, without me doing anything. So there's a good chance tinytable makes its way there magically in the future...

I fully understand

Thank you for taking the time to reply
