conda-resolvelib-solver

Resolvelib based conda solver. A pure python conda solver!

What is this?

Conda-resolvelib-solver is a demostration solver for the conda package manager which uses the resolvelib library, a pure python dependency resolver that is used by pip.

Installation

To install conda-resolvelib-solver use:

conda install --name base --channel conda-forge conda-resolvelib-solver

Or with the base environment activated install using pip:

python -m pip install conda-resolvelib-solver

Usage

Once installed the solver can be used by adding --solver resolvelib to a conda create command.

Note that the solver may fail for complex dependencies, commands other than create and does not implement many configuration values of conda like channel priority.

Use as a general solver in conda is not recommended.

Development workflow

To setup a development environment use:

conda create --prefix ./env --file dev/conda-requirements.txt
conda activate ./env
python -m pip install -e .

Conda commands can now be run from this environment using:

python -m conda <command>

Tests can be run using

python -m pytest tests
