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.

Awesome! Thanks!
