MyST-NB on conda-forge
Thanks for the great work so far on myst-nb
. I recently switched from nbsphinx
and am finding your package very useful.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I use conda to manage my projects and, though I'm no purist, I try to limit the extent to which I mix conda and pip (as I've read it can cause problems).
Describe the solution you'd like
I've noticed that conda-forge is the recommended means of installation for myst-parser
. Any plans to also distribute myst-nb
on conda-forge? Are there current barriers that keep you from distributing on conda?
If it's just a matter of doing a basic conda skeleton
from the myst-nb pypi package and then conda-build
(see here), I might be able to assist. Anything beyond that, I'd probably be in over my head.
I don't think there are any technical reasons we couldn't use conda-forge here as well...probably just a matter of developer time. I don't think it would be complicated but maybe @chrisjsewell could advise there?
You'll also need a recipe for jupyter-sphinx, and it would be good to include the utf8 fix: https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter-sphinx/pull/125/commits/7faaf29a97cba54d7d1cfb3914906cccaa56bbaa
Yeh that was the only reason, because some of the dependencies need to be added first
Opened https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter-sphinx/issues/148, then we can revisit
This is now available, but just needs documenting
