Kevin,
Thanks for the appreciation. Are you able to help with this one? If not, I will get to it eventually. I just have to read the documentation on how to create and publish a conda install package. Working on some other enhancements first.
All the best. --Daniel

@DanielGoldfarb you can create a conda recipe by typing:
conda skeleton pypi mplfinance
which will leave you with a meta.yaml file based on the currently available version on pypi that you can tweak slightly - attached is what I've recently created (github file upload prevents a .yaml file):
meta.txt

I'm unfamiliar with publishing packages to public conda channels, but hopefully this can help to get you started.

@kcowgill
Kent,
Thanks. I will take a look and follow up.
All the best. --Daniel

I suggest submitting the recipe to conda-forge (see https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes) . They have the machinery in place to build and upload the packages and a bot that auto-updates the recipe when you create a new tag.

@tacaswell
Tom, Thanks will definitely do that (when I get to this). I had noticed that matplotlib is on the conda-forge channel. Thanks,. --Daniel

Hi @DanielGoldfarb,
I was just wondering if the conda pkg was on the horizon...?
Thx

[DanielGoldfarb]

I started playing with this today. It's on anaconda cloud now: https://anaconda.org/DanielGoldfarb/mplfinance

tested install with conda install -c danielgoldfarb mplfinance ... it works.

PR is in for conda-forge.
