Extra hint for installing the Python bindings. #82
Description
Wrt the Minpack Python bindings, the README says
If you already have a minpack installation, e.g. from conda-forge,
you can build the Python extension module directly without cloning this repository
That conda install can be as easy as conda install -c conda-forge cminpack. The pip install command
pip install "https://github.com/fortran-lang/minpack/archive/refs/heads/main.zip#egg=minpack&subdirectory=python"
than indeed works flawlessly - I am using Python 3.12.
Perhaps this conda install command could be added to the README, since it took me a while to find cminpack; a minpack conda web search yields r-minpack.lm and not cminpack.
I am not sure if conda install conda-forge::r-minpack.lm + the pip install command would also provide the Python bindings.
I guess not, but I did not try.
