Conda Skeleton Fails

Question

I published a sample python package on Pypi using wheel. I would like to publish the package on my Conda channel using this tutorial.

However when I run: conda skeleton pypi rutgerhofstepythonpackage I get the following error:

Warning, the following versions were found for rutgerhofstepythonpackage
0.0.1
0.0.2
0.1.1
Using 0.1.1
Use --version to specify a different version.

Answer 1

Conda Skeleton Requires a source distribution. Uploading a wheel to pypi is not sufficient.

In addition to a build distribution python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal create a source distribution python setup.py sdist

before uploading to PyPi. I figured this out while trying to manually create the meta.yaml file using this tutorial
