Distributing idom on conda-forge

[maximlt]

Hi all,

I'd be nice to have idom 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 through the community-maintained conda-forge channel.

I created #851 to track this. Out of curiosity, what other Conda packages would you like to use IDOM with? I'm guessing pyecharts given your typo, but are there more?

Arf damned copy/paste :) I indeed opened a similar issue/discussion for PyEcharts. My original motivation was that I'm one of the maintainers of Panel, our CI uses conda to install our runtime and optional dependencies, idom (and pyecharts as you can guess) being one of them. It's not really a problem for us, we just pip install it, it falls in the nice-to-have category. As for other conda users in general, they can pip install anything but their workflow (currently) works best when they can conda install everything.

I'm in the process of adding reactpy, reactpy-router, and reactpy-django to the conda-forge channel. In fact, I already have the PR submitted to the conda-forge/staged-recipes repo. Unfortunately, the automatic build checks are failing due to the same sdist issue being addressed by PR #1191, which is still unmerged. Once that gets merged, I'll tackle the remaining roadblocks, if any.

I'll take a look at that PR soon, looks like it'll need some effort to be mergeable.
