constructor does not work with non-bzip2 packages

[newville]

It appears that constructor generates shell scripts that cannot unpack themselves if some of the packages are not bzip2.

constructor -v now reports packages with a .conda extension instead of a .tar.bz2 extension. This seems to be related to conda-build 3.18.5, though I'm not 100% sure.

Is there any easy work-around?

confirmed :-(

Temporary recipe works for me:

1. Create venv:

   conda create --name "build_venv" "python==3.7.*" "conda<4.5.13" "conda-build < 3.18.3" "constructor==2.3.*"

2. Activate and build the dist there:

   conda activate build_venv
