Can we run a test build without some of the more tricky deps (looking square at you h5py / skimage)? (I will go put my reproject hat on and fix...

Also is it possible to run a generic python pre-release build?

I think this needs some careful thought. We put a decent amount of thought into the data manager API, and pooch definitely isn't a drop-in replacement.

Does it matter if those things are in this repo or the website repo, other than to satisfy our desire for order? From the perspective of the user surely they...
