Pip package

Hello,

We would want to see the use case for intergrating pyviz into some of our tools. However we right all python.

Is there a way of installing everything without using conda

Preferably: pip install pyviz

Or providing a makefile make install

Some quick notes:

• geoviews already has a package on pypi for pip, but it depends on cartopy, and whether you can pip install cartopy or not depends on how your system is set up (https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy/docs/v0.15/installing.html)
• the geo stack is often problematic even if you use conda
• a pip installable pyviz package will soon appear on pypi (as part of ongoing work), and I guess it will have optional extras (the core package will be fine to pip install)
• if you’re integrating pyviz into something else, do you need (or even want?) all of pyviz? Could you pip install only the underlying packages you need?
• I imagine the kinds of conda/pip interactions being referred to are not improved in any released conda, but I think a preview of better conda/pip interaction might be an opt-in setting for one of the next conda releases

I think this can be safely closed. We are building a pip package, and all the underlying pyviz libraries also have pip packages.
