is qp-prob required by sacc?

[heather999]

Hi! I've been installing sacc from conda-forge. I'm having a bit of a conda vs pip issue that I think is unrelated to this but one of my errors during a conda env setup when I reach a pip install step results in this error message:

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
sacc 0.12 requires qp-prob, which is not installed.

I can see in the requirements.txt that indeed it looks like qp-prob is required and that is used in setup.py,, but the conda-forge recipe doesn't seem to include it. Is it meant to be different depending on whether we use conda-forge or pip?

It could probably be an optional dependency if that makes things easier? It would be good to add it to the sacc conda deps, but it looks like qp isn't on conda-forge yet.

@aimalz @eacharles - do you have qp on conda forge somewhere? Or could we add it?

Is this the qp you are looking for? https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/qp-prob

Right there is both qp-prob and qp-prob-full on conda-forge (I'm sure Eric or Alex can remind me of the difference!)

Oops, sorry, somehow I failed to see this. In that case yes, the conda forge sacc should require that.
