Healpy Problem in Windows while Setting Up Sedkit

[SherelynA]

It appears that when trying to install sedkit on a windows machine, there is a problem with downloading Healpy, which stops the package from being downloaded. @hover2pi have you experienced this problem and do you know of any solutions?

Yes, healpy has given me trouble in the past as a dependency of the dustmaps package. I'm not sure how I fixed it though. We could always remove healpy and dustmaps as dependencies since the reddening coefficient it pulls from there is usually 0 given the maps only cover a portion of the sky. It's not essential functionality by any means.

New issue #121 for making healpy and dustmaps optional dependencies.

@SherelynA , have you resolved this issue? how urgently do you need to get sedkit installed on a windows machine?

[SherelynA]

@kelle, with the updated pip install sedkit working now, this shouldn't be a problem anymore. For some reason, when trying to install sedkit using conda in a windows machine, healpy and dustmaps were a problem. However, with the pip install option it should work now.

Ok. Can always reopen if needed.
