Create PyPI package from new release (0.5.3-alpha) #79
Description
New odm2api release (0.5.3-alpha) is out, and the conda package has been updated.
There's interest in creating a PyPI package for this release. @ocefpaf, are you able to help with that? I know PyPI is not your strength.
FYI, @valentinedwv created an odm2api PyPI package about 6 months ago. There were some issues with it (@ocefpaf, please see #71), but hopefully at a minimum this means that the groundwork is mostly laid out.
Related to this, I see @valentinedwv opened an issue (#35) here a year ago to setup a PyPI account for ODM2. There, he said: "Ideally, need a common email and some others to register so we can setup more than one admin." Dave, since you created at least two ODM2 PyPI packages in the past, I assume you created this account and can share the login info (offline) with us, so we can add other admins like @ocefpaf and possibly @horsburgh and me? BTW, let's close that old issue (#35) once Dave has shared that info and we've added other admins.
@ocefpaf will have very limited time (or none) next week, while traveling. So if this is too time consuming for this week (specially with other BiGCZ/ODM2 work already on his plate), it can wait till the week after next.
