Using astroquery

[ManonMarchand]

Hello here 👋

I'm curious if astroquery can be used within this ecosystem. This issue suggested that it works: #5083

But when I try I get the following issue:

error    libmamba Could not solve for environment specs
    The following package could not be installed
    └─ astroquery =* * is not installable because it requires
       └─ keyring [=* *|>=15.0 *|>=4.0 *] but there are no viable options
          ├─ keyring [24.3.1|25.0.0|...|25.7.0] would require
          │  └─ __osx =* *, which is missing on the system;
          ├─ keyring [24.3.1|25.0.0|...|25.7.0] would require
          │  └─ __win =* *, which is missing on the system;
          └─ keyring [24.3.1|25.0.0|...|25.7.0] would require
             └─ __linux =* *, which is missing on the system.
critical libmamba Could not solve for environment specs

I checked and both astroquery and keyring are pure python. However, I think I understood that keyring checks the system it is running on to find a keyword manager.

So here are my questions:

• can other people run astroquery?
• if not, can we submit recipes to ignore some dependencies and sub-modules for pure python packages here? (I only need the public part and won't need authentication anyhow)

ping @martinRenou who might know more about these metapackages like __linux

ping @jjerphan.

In mambajs this was fixed with emscripten-forge/mambajs#201

A similar fix was applied to micromamba mamba-org/mamba#4168 but we need an equivalent for __linux

Actually not! Both mambajs and mamba now add __unix but not __linux. We need to decide whether or not it makes sense to add it. Or eventually fix the keyring package or package a mock version of it on emscripten-forge..

Despite it being noarch on conda-forge, each build of astroquery is platform specific. The best would be to distribute astroquery on emscripten-forge IMO.

Edit: I meant keyring, not astroquery.
