Land on Conda-forge about geopatra

[Sangarshanan]

Hey, Thank you for using geopatra and for your kind words. And yes conda installations would definitely be cleaner and I will look to create a recipe whenever I find the time. But it will be in the future as I am planning to add a lot more mapping options/ additional dependencies but I guess adding a binder notebook with a clean env for beginners to jump in and experiment will help

Also do lemme know if you find any issue installing/ using the package

So the dependencies currently demand geopandas<0.7.0,>=0.6.2 which now I think about it can be moved to geopandas 0.7.0 since the only major change is with pyproj. You could try conda install geopandas=0.6.2 and try to set this up.

Thanks for the quick response. My installing process only encountered one issue, and I'm not sure if this is from my settings. When trying pip install geopatra in a clean Conda env with GeoPandas (0.7 from conda-forge) pre-installed, it forces to uninstall the 0.7 and then installs 0.6.2, although I find in the pyproject.toml that geopatra specifies geopandas = "^0.6.2".

What might be the reason that 0.7 is not recognized? I'm using macOS Catalina system and the newest conda 4.8.3. Also, conda config --set pip_interop_enabled True was set by conda recommendation.

Thanks for the reply as the problem solved. Closing for now.
