Description

It would be nice if conduit was available as a package on PyPI. In order to keep things sane the package would probably have to come in source form depend on a pre-existing conduit install (a bit like how mpi4py depends on MPI having already been installed or pyopencl depends on an available OpenCL install). This would be very useful for those who work in virtual environments.

One slight snag is that there is already an unrelated package called conduit, so either a prefix or suffix will be needed.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Python wrappers and how conduit is installed. Determine the source-package and pre-existing-install requirements, resolve the PyPI name collision, and verify that the resulting package works in virtual environments.
