Make available on conda-forge

[maximlt]

Hi all, thanks for this great library and sorry for writing in English (I hope it's fine).

I'd be nice to have pyecharts available on conda-forge. Adding what is called a recipe to conda-forge is pretty well documented. That would ultimately make pyecharts directly available to conda users.

• For now, I think you can use pip install in conda environment.
• I don't know much about conda-forge, and I don't know the difference between it and Anaconda.
• By the way, I will take a look for conda-forge, but probably not so soon.

I don't know much about conda-forge, and I don't know the difference between it and Anaconda.

The difference is quite big. Anaconda is a company, it created the tool conda to manage environments and dependencies. conda can install packages from channels. Anaconda maintains a channel called default. The community of conda users, i.e. in bulk that's the scientific/datascience Python community as conda is making installing their packages much easier compared to pip, has developed its own community-managed channel called conda-forge. While Anaconda controls what is on the default channel, it doesn't control what is on conda-forge and you as a maintainer of a Python library can decide to submit your project to conda-forge.

For short, once we updated our library to conda-forge, we are able to run conda install pyecharts to download it.

• Thx, I will take a look for conda-forge.

I would suggest using grayskull to generate the conda-forge recipe quickly.
