Package for pip install

[devinaconley]

Allow installation of robosat package with pip. This could be hosted on PyPI or installed directly from Github.

e.g.

pip install git+https://github.com/mapbox/robosat.git@master

How did you come up with this list and the versions? List from requirements.in and then manually getting the versions from the requirements.txt lockfile? Then why is it >= above? Can we somehow automate this by parsing the requirements files? Otherwise updating dependencies gets even more complicated than it is already right now.

[devinaconley]

Yep exactly. And I did not want to specify exact versions as the solver will likely need to some flexibility for installation into a larger project. As an alternative to >=, we could specify ~= to enforce a compatible version

[devinaconley]

I updated the requirements to enforce compatible versions with ~=, except for osmium==2.15.2, which requires an exact version due a known issue with their latest release
osmcode/pyosmium#123

Automatically parsing the requirements.txt is possible, but would need to update for less strict versioning, and is generally not advised

Could also worth to add an rs entry point:

 entry_points={"console_scripts": ["rs = robosat.tools.__main__:main"]},

[ocourtin]

@devinaconley Humm, i think @daniel-j-h point is less >= vs ~=
than how to not spread package versions in several places (i.e requirements.* + setup.py).

If you look on robosat.pink project,
we manage it with a single requirements.txt parsed in setup.py
(impliying MANIFEST.in entry)

HTH,

@ocourtin responded to that part in line with the original comment ^

Thanks!
