[question] Why Ranger is not available as a pip package

[tugot17]

Why Ranger is only available on a github but not as an pip package. Wouldn't it be easier for the community to actually use it?

Actually, there is a pip package but it is based out of a fork of this repo. I think it would make sense to collate this effort to the main repo.

I'm currently 3/4 done with a rewrite of Ranger (Ranger21) to include a number of new innovations since Ranger was released. I will make that a pip package once done and also include the original Ranger as well to address the lack of easy install.
https://github.com/lessw2020/Ranger21 is the repo for Ranger21 if you want to take a look at what's coming.

Awesome! I can contribute the conda recipe, if you want.
