We no longer support the Conda install

as someone who stubbornly uses Conda, I'm curious if there's a specific reason why you switched away?

It was very complicated explicitly supporting two installation paths.

The .toml package configuration is, to my understanding, the current way it's recommended to write Python packages.

I expect you could install bigbang in a conda environment using pip and it would work just fine.

Supporting a proper conda release shouldn't be an issue, once we start having wheels releases on pypi (currently only the tar.gz source is uploaded on pypi). I have an interim recipe available https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/compare/main...MridulS:staged-recipes:bigbangpy_on_conda_forge, just waiting for the next release on pypi. It should be available with conda install -c conda-forge bigbang-py once the recipe is merged on conda-forge.
