This is somewhat related to #36. We need to be accessible and most of the cutting edge scientific Python is on Conda, probably due to ease of downloading stuff like C extensions, Numba etc.
Anyway, this gets closed once we can do conda install plasmapy in a new environment and have it work out of the box.
I haven't been able to find a how-to on this yet. I'll update this issue if I find anything.
https://conda-forge.org/ this is at least 70% relevant.
I'll sort this out if nobody objects. I've been meaning to learn how to do conda packaging anyway and unless anyone has a pressing desire to take on dealing with the pip installing it seems reasonable for me to deal with both.
Relevant PR: conda-forge/staged-recipes#4793
What is the status of this? The problem (at least right now) with the staged recipe is that the roman package is not included, presumably because it was added as a dependency after this PR was opened
The necessary functionality of roman got absorbed into plasmapy/utils/roman in an earlier PR, so that seems to have been solved. I suppose it would be best to continue this discussion at conda-forge/staged-recipes#4793 and get this done.
I finally got the builds to pass - the waiting game begins now.
We are now on Conda-forge. :)
