Package xdoctest for conda-forge ?

[Trevor James Smith]

Hi,

I just came across xdoctest via your PyCon presentation (great publicity) and it looks like it could be very useful in a few projects I'm associated with. I was wondering though if you had considered packaging it for conda-forge. The process isn't very difficult (I maintain a few packages listed through there) and I could contribute some help in setting it up if you were willing to maintain it.

Best,

Yes, I'm absolutely willing to maintain it and I'd be greatly appreciative of any help in setting it up.

I use conda to install my default Python interpreter, but I almost always use pip to install and maintain packages in my environment (except for gdal because of its difficult-to-use C bindings). I see that a lot of packages are maintained on both pypi and conda-forge, so I think doing the same here is reasonable. I am curious though, what is the benefit of packaging a pure-python package on conda-forge when it is also on pypi?

Regardless, if you make a PR that lays out the appropriate template, I'll get it merged, do anything I need to do on the account / authentication side, and maintain it as needed.

Closing because it looks like there already is one .
