Description

Problem Description

I'd like to re-package mitmproxy as a package on conda-forge from an official source distribution.

Proposal

On conda-forge, we prefer to use official source distributions: for pure python projects, usually .tar.gz from PyPI. We'd love to use (noarch) whls someday, but it will take a while for all the PEPs to die down.

Alternatives

We can build directly from a VCS-generated tarball, but those have more of a habit of changing (e.g. the shasum changing) than an artifact generated by the project's owners/automation.

Additional context

Thanks for mitmproxy!

Research direction

Start by inspecting the PyPI publishing configuration and release automation mentioned in the proposal, including how the wheel artifacts are selected. Done means an official .tar.gz source distribution is published on PyPI alongside the wheel and can be consumed by conda-forge.
