birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda 0.3.1

A Buildout recipe to install conda packages

Introduction

birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda is a Buildout recipe to install Anaconda packages. This recipe is used by the Birdhouse project.

Usage

The recipe requires that Anaconda is already installed. You can use the buildout option anaconda-home to set the prefix for the anaconda installation. You can also use the recipe option prefix to set the conda prefix. Otherwise the environment variable CONDA_ENV_PATH (variable is set when activating a conda environment) is used as conda prefix.

Supported options

This recipe supports the following options:

anaconda-home

Buildout option pointing to the root folder of the Anaconda installation. Default: $HOME/anaconda.

conda-channels

Buildout option (optional) with additional channels of conda packages. Default: defaults

prefix

Path to the conda prefix (optional). If not given then CONDA_ENV_PATH or anaconda-home will be used.

pkgs

A list of packages to install, separated by space.

channels

A list of space separated conda channels (optional). These channels are merged with conda-channels option. Default: defaults.

override-channels

If True then default channels from ~/.condarc are ignored (optional). Default. true.

no-pin

If True then conda pinned file is ignored (optional). Default: false.

env

Name of conda environment used for installation (optional). If environment is missing then packages are installed in the active environment.

default-pkgs

A list of packages to install when creating a conda environment separated by space (optional). Default: python

pip-pkgs

A list of packages which are installed by pip into the conda enviroment (optional).

Note

If buildout is run in offline mode no network connection will be establish and conda packages will not be installed.

Note

If buildout is run in newest=false mode then conda dependencies are not updated.

Example usage

The following example buildout.cfg installs the packages in the active conda environment.

[buildout]
parts = conda

[conda]
recipe = birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda
pkgs = lxml owslib
channels = defaults birdhouse
