Stupid reCURsiVe Yet Superb INstaller

Simple tool that installs a package getting as much dependencies as possible using conda and pip in the remaining items from the dependency tree.

WARNING: This is pre-alpha quality code. It is not optimized, it does not cache intermediate results and it prints perhaps more information than necessary. It also can stop working.

DISCLAIMER: Several bad practices are used in the code. On purpose.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• conda if the tool is to have any sense

Tested against:

• pip 18.1, 19.1, 19.2
• conda 4.6.12, 4.7.11

Installation

Just use the regular pip install:

pip install scurvysin

Usage

This package is designed to be used as a command-line tool. You might reuse it as a library but the API is not designed with this in mind (and it may lead to complications due to global state).
