Currently all beat.something dependencies are being refactored to become conda packages. It has already been done for beat.backend.python, beat.core and beat.cmdline. The only one missing is beat.examples.

beat.web poses a different challenge has it requires several dependencies that are not directly available through conda's default channel or Idiaps software channel for bob. The main challenge comes from the fact that conda build doesn't support dependencies from PyPI directly. The current recommend practice is to use conda skeleton to create recipes for PyPI packages and use them to feed conda build

Here is a list of the dependencies that can be found in several places in beat.web like setup.py and buildout.cfg with their requirements and conda channel they can be found in if any:

One question that can be asked here is: do we still need all of them ?

This will also fix #462 (closed)
