pypi submission

[schwehr]

It appears the scitools iris has not been submitted to pypi. Could you please submit point releases to pypi?

[shoyer]

It would be really awesome if the developers could submit Iris to pypi, which is the standard package index for python. This would let users download and install Iris from the command line very easily:

pip install iris

(Although, it looks like someone else has already submitted a package with the name "iris" to pypi, so you might need to use a different name.)

@rhattersley - do you have any thoughts on this? It'd be great to have, but as @shoyer says - Iris seems to have already been taken... 😱

[rhattersley]

I'm sure we can crack the name issue (e.g. "scitools-iris" perhaps). And once we've cracked at least the conda install route we can see what'd be involved in submitting to pypi and what the end-user experience might be. The non-Python dependencies (e.g. udunits) muddy the waters somewhat.

Bumping this three years later

The 2.0.0rc1 is available under scitools-iris on pypi. Plenty of room for improvement (like a description), but the source dist is available there at least. Help (in the form of PRs) very much welcomed to improve the non-binary pip install scitools-iris experience.

[schwehr]

Awesome! Thanks!

[pelson]

It is certainly not perfect - but happy to tweak if you come up with any issues.

Thanks!

Hi, pip install scitools-iris fails for me, due to setup.py#L252 as requirements/all.txt isn't packaged.

Some further details, running Python 3.6.2 in a clean virtual environment:

• I pip downloaded the package, removed the above mentioned extras_require entries from setup.py and tried to install from within the local directory with pip install . which failed due to missing six (consequently pip installed), then pyke.
• I downloaded Pyke from SourceForge and installed it with pip install local/path/to/pyke3-1.1.1.zip. After this, I was able to install Iris succesfully.
• Finally, to be able to import iris without error, I had to pip install toolz scipy.

Edit: This probably shouldn't be in this issue - let me know if you'd like me to create a new one.

Hi, pip install scitools-iris fails for me, due to setup.py#L252 as requirements/all.txt isn't packaged.

Fixed in versions greater than v2.0.0rc1. See https://github.com/SciTools/iris/blame/v2.0.x/MANIFEST.in#L11.

which failed due to missing six (consequently pip installed), then pyke.

I don't think there is anything we can do for pyke (it isn't pip installable from pypi), though maybe we should just upload the sdist to pypi ourselves... (https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyke/files/pyke/1.1.1/pyke3-1.1.1.zip/download)

As for six, I think we've overlooked the setup_requires functionality. Looks like we should have the setup requirements in both setup_requires and install_requires. Ref: http:https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html. I'll open a PR for that.

Finally, to be able to import iris without error, I had to pip install toolz scipy

toolz isn't a dependency of iris, though maybe we are using some of the functionality in dask that does require it, and we aren't being specific enough with our pip requirements. Would you be interested in digging into that?

scipy is a core dependency and is completely missing from the requirements. I'll open a PR for that.

@dangyogi - sorry for bothering you, but would you be willing to upload a pyke3 to pypi to go along with https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyke?

[pelson]

@rdkr - I've just tagged v2.0.0 and uploaded it to pypi. Have another go and feel free to raise any issues you encounter (including adding a description to pypi!).

toolz is a dependency of dask.array.

You might want to switch your dependency to dask[array]. I know that works with pip (e.g., pip install dask[array]) but I'm not entirely sure it works as a dependency with setuptools.setup.
