Publish pyfixest on conda

Should we publish pyfixest on conda? What are the advantages and costs of doing so?

Hi Alexander,

I hope you are doing well!

Could you please publish pyfixest on conda? I am really looking forward to using your great package!

All the best,

Thanks for the feedback @ben-pku! Happy to get started with this within the nearer future. Out of curiosity, what is the advantage of having a package on conda vs just pypi in your specific use case? I.e. why can't you install and use pyfixest at the moment? Asking because so far, I have not had much touch points with conda =)

This is in progress now conda-forge/staged-recipes#28166

Thanks for your timely response! I did not use pip much because I used to hate store something twice and out of control. It seems that if I maintain a conda environment carefully, I can make sure that I do not need to worry about storing something repeatedly.

I work on data cleaning for economic research, so a uniform environment for us seems to relieve our energy from coding to analyses.

Thanks again for your fantastic work!

All the best,
Zhuokai

This is unfortunately currently blocked by lets-plot not being available on conda-forge: JetBrains/lets-plot#785. I will have to check if there are workarounds to have conda packages depend on pypi packages.

@s3alfisc Here cos I try to add lets-plot to conda-forge myself. The problem is the following JetBrains/lets-plot#1276
