Conda package about pdoc

[AlexFiliakov]

This might be an enhancement? We use conda, so I may look into making pdoc3 available through the conda environment.

pip install into a conda environment can work, but because pip and conda dependencies can be different this can lead to incorrect configurations or even crashes. For this reason, experienced conda users avoid pip installs whenever possible.

If you want wider adoption, you really should build a conda distribution and publish on conda-forge.

conda-forge/staged-recipes#10220 will add this to conda-forge.

Thanks for pointing this out. I set the bot to automerge the update PRs. If you'd like to help maintain it otherwise, please open an issue on the feedstock repo that has the following text in the body:

I don't use Anaconda myself, but as far as I understand, packages from PyPI (installed with pip) should work just the same?

How does one make a package available in conda?

[ricardojumia]

You can install PyPI packages in conda but it's not recommended even with best practices - which are very cumbersome.

As for making it available in conda, I've never done this myself but I think you can use conda build.

I ended up installing it with pip and it worked. A conda build would nonetheless be useful to avoid conflicts in the future. And yes, this would be an enhancement.

I agree but happen to not use conda at all. If someone wants to duly maintain a conda package on conda-forge, please step up. 👍

[kernc]

If anyone would like to help @msarahan co-maintain the package on conda-forge, welcome and appreciated.

[kernc]

The package is available on conda-forge.

https://github.com/conda-forge/pdoc3-feedstock <---looks like it is out of date (stuck on 0.8.1 right now). Do you need another volunteer to help maintain this?
