Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipes/ninja-python) and found some lint.

Here's what I've got...

For recipes/ninja-python:

• noarch: python recipes are required to have a lower bound on the python version. Typically this means putting python >=3.6 in both host and run but you should check upstream for the package's Python compatibility.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipes/ninja-python) and found it was in an excellent condition.

@conda-forge/help-python, ready for review!

There's no reason to re-papckage a ninja when there's already a ninja package in conda-forge. Maybe we can use the same approach as NixOS/nixpkgs#246963

@isuruf thanks for reaching out!

Apologies, I'm not following what the suggested path forward is. My understanding is ninja-python-distributions allows for python integration of ninja. Is your approach to update ninja-feedstack to build both?

FWIW, I'm unfamiliar with ninja, and trying to resolve downstream dependencies for another build which cannot import ninja.

@isuruf and/or @conda-forge/help-python any thoughts on the above?
