Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

I do have some suggestions for making it better though...

For recipe:

• Whenever possible python packages should use pip. See https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/adding_pkgs.html#use-pip

Comments from PR #32

• @IAlibay : I believe the way forward in meta.yml is to have noarch in the build section: https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/knowledge_base.html#noarch-python

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found some lint.

Here's what I've got...

For recipe:

• noarch packages can't have selectors. If the selectors are necessary, please remove noarch: python.
• noarch: python recipes are required to have a lower bound on the python version. Typically this means putting python >=3.6 in both host and run but you should check upstream for the package's Python compatibility.

For recipe:

• Whenever possible python packages should use pip. See https://conda-forge.org/docs/maintainer/adding_pkgs.html#use-pip

Can this be rewritten as

script: {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . --no-deps -vv

(possibly change requirements.host setuptools --> pip)?

[orbeckst]

no-deps will not work as we need MDA.

[IAlibay]

Isn't that already defined under run?

[orbeckst]

Ah, you're right... Do we need the --single-version-externally-managed --record record.txt options for something??

[orbeckst]

I changed it to use pip.

I'll probably close my manual attempt here and let conda-smithy do everything in PR #34 ...

[orbeckst]

The automated PR #35 really only added noarch but there was other stuff to fix. It looks as if this PR is just as good (and already has more things removed).

@IAlibay perhaps you could have a quick look when you have time?

👍🏽 I'll give it a look through in the morning.

This seems fine to me, I don't understand thing enough to be 100% sure, but the best thing we can do is test it out and see what happens.
