Arch Linux Package about pandas_market_calendars HOT 5 CLOSED

Question... when I install packages on linux (Ubuntu) I just use pip and it seems to work fine with the wheel files. How is this tarball different? I am happy to promote the existence of the Arch Linux package, but want to make sure I understand exactly what that means.

Looks like you are correct on the toolz I removed in the latest commit ec34bfc

pip is ok and I was using it till now for pandas_market_calendars. Then:

1. it is not very good at managing dependencies, updates and removal with dependencies
2. it also means you need to manage separately your Linux distro packages and your python packages. In Arch we usually create our python packages, then everything is properly managed and updated in the same place. The package is created from the source, we use setuptools and execute python setup.py build/install.

Note that Arch is now the #1 distro as ranked by distrowatch here : Manjaro is an Arch based distro - Antergos as well, not far behind.

Also if it is easier for you to make releases here on GitHub directly this is absolutely fine, it does not need to follow the same release cycle as pypi I can point here as well. The most convenient for you.

Thanks for the explanation, very interesting. How do you suggest I advertise this fact? Include in the README.rst? Is there a standard way to state "go here for Arch Linux package"

In terms of release I added the tarball to the process so should be on PyPi for all future releases.

Great, yes I think the link in the README would be fine.
Thanks very much.
