#5726: use pypi instead of github

[gnestor]

This separate our wrappers (wraps default setuptools commands/tasks with custom commands) into develop (for developers) and install (for users) so that js and java builds are only run for develop and the kernel, kernelspec, and custom_css commands are run for all. With this, we can remove the post-link scripts from the conda recipe (as this serves the same function). This will allow users to install beakerx as follows:

pip install beakerx
jupyter nbextension install beakerx --py --sys-prefix
jupyter nbextension enable beakerx --py --sys-prefix

Thanks Grant this looks like it solves the basic problem.
I was able to get it to build the kernels using the dev instructions, and the jars were used in their locations as placed by gradle. Cool.

However I had to make the following changes to the readme:

-conda create -y -n beakerx python=3.5 jupyter openjdk yarn
+conda create -y -n beakerx python=3.5 jupyter openjdk pandas nodejs

-(cd beakerx; pip install -e beakerx --verbose)
+pip install -e beakerx --verbose

and even then I was getting this error:

    running custom_css
    /Users/spot/anaconda/envs/testx/lib/python3.5/site-packages/setuptools-27.2.0-py3.5.egg/setuptools/dist.py:331: UserWarning: Normalizing '0.1.1.dev' to '0.1.1.dev0'
    error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/spot/src/beakerx/beakerx/beakerx/static/custom'

let's talk about it. thx.

I have tested many times and have not been able to reproduce that error with the custom_css command.

I have updated the README according to your comment and cleaned things up a bit.

I am now unable to get conda install -c beakerx beakerx to work, I get an error on the post-link script:

ERROR conda.core.link:_execute_actions(337): An error occurred while installing package 'beakerx::beakerx-0.1.0.dev0-py35h5a3ff1a_0'.
LinkError: post-link script failed for package beakerx::beakerx-0.1.0.dev0-py35h5a3ff1a_0
running your command again with `-v` will provide additional information
location of failed script: /Users/grant/anaconda/envs/beakerx2/bin/.beakerx-post-link.sh
==> script messages <==
<None>

The post-link just runs jupyter install beakerx --py --sys-prefix and jupyter enable beakerx --py --sys-prefix.

It's odd because nothing has changed except that I created a new conda environment based on the current README.

So, I think we should merge this soon and maybe update the README to favor the pip method vs. conda method.

i tried again and now i get this error:

        ERROR in ./~/css-loader!./~/sass-loader/lib/loader.js!./src/easyForm/css/jupyter-easyform.scss
        Module build failed: Error: Missing binding /Users/scottdraves/src/beakerx/beakerx/js/node_modules/node-sa\

[gnestor]

Ah, I've seen this! This is usually caused by upgrading to a newer major version of Node. Try rebuilding node-sass (npm rebuild node-sass) or just removing the node_modules directory and reinstalling (rm -rf node_modules && npm install).

[scottdraves]

sorry, my mistake! i forgot to clean out my repo.
