Instapy: Deploy to PyPi

[timgrossmann]

In order to make InstaPy more friendly to integrate into other applications, we want to automatically deploy InstaPy to PyPi for easy install with pip install InstaPy.

We also have to set up a GitHub Pipeline that will deploy InstaPy with every (Release|Version) for automatic updates of the PyPi entry.

Advantages of this feature:

• People working locally with InstaPy don't need to clone the repo from GitHub but can simply import it into their quickstart file everywhere on their device.
• Better tracking of downloads

Possible ways of achieving this while keeping control:

• Resolve #3567 which will remove the problem with the chromedriver, then set up a GitHub pipeline to do the deployment

O'la la bounties 🍭
Things get interesting 😋 here

I was thinking the same - to pin this thread but you are faster, @timgrossmann 😂
I agree that those 3 pinned threads has higher priority than many others, at the moment.

Before thinking about solutions, I would ask how do you think on these matters,
The situation being discussed would and will fairly require user level elevation - a super user or administrator or user with administrative privileges access in order to,

• install packages by pip [may or may not - depends on python installation config]
• off-thread but installing other external packages like chromedriver

The point is, as far as I know, currently without that higher-level resource access, users can get InstaPy to work, but to sort-of automate it, it must be considered.

So, what is your point?

• How to design it in this regards?

Just a note that, most of the software of this kind requires that high-level access either while installing [one-time] or everytime [either while running or in background].

For me, preparing a solution safely will not harm. Just users will be notified that - "_Please, run [this portion] as sudo/admin_"..

Thanks to @uluQulu we are now on PyPi! 🙌 🙌
https://pypi.org/project/instapy/

And look at that name! Thank you very much to @gekitsuu for removing your project and allowing the InstaPy community to take over the official project on PyPi, we really appreciate it.
