Thank you @davidbrochart! So... Does it mean there is a feedstock for the client on Conda Forge? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm really not aware of how Conda works 😄

Does it mean there is a feedstock for the client on Conda Forge?

Yes! https://github.com/conda-forge/fief-client-fastapi-feedstock

[frankie567]

That's great! I see it's packaged with the optional FastAPI dependencies; is there something similar in Conda that would let us, just like pip, to have a "base package" and have optional dependencies for FastAPI/Flask/etc?

[davidbrochart]

No, that's really specific to pip.
The conda-forge package is fief-client-fastapi, hopefully it's clear that it has the FastAPI dependency.
Other options would be to:

• create a package fief-client that has all optional dependencies (FastAPI, Flask...), but the user could end up with dependencies that they don't need.
• create a package fief-client with no optional dependency, and let the user install them, e.g. mamba install fief-client fastapi.
• create a feedstock fief-client with multiple outputs corresponding to each package variant.

Hmm... I see 🤔

• create a feedstock fief-client with multiple outputs corresponding to each package variant.

Is that difficult to do? Is it possible to do that on the existing feedstock and rename it?

[davidbrochart]

@wolfv doesn't like multiple outputs, IIRC 😄

[frankie567]

Ha 😬 Well, since I've zero experience with Conda, I'll trust you to take the best decision.

It's just that if one day someone comes and asks to have the fief-client-flask package and we have to create a whole feedstock from scratch, it looks a bit tedious to me 😅

[davidbrochart]

But you're right, it would make more sense. I'll see if I can create a multiple-output feedstock.

I'm trying there, but it doesn't work yet: conda-forge/staged-recipes#20279
