Hello,

I am trying to package the next version of silx.

I get the error message bellow during the build

Indeed silx use pooch via scipy in order to download the test data.

So my question is, what is the best solution in order to solve this issue ?

I want to run the unit test with these data. So at some point we should have 
them packaged.

I can download this dataset and embeded it in my package, put it at the right 
place, so pooch knows that it already have the data.
or should we propose a scipy-dataset packages with a collection of dataset 
usefull for other packages tests
and find a way to register in pooch the fac tha these data's are already on the 
system.

I do not know how many packages are about to use pooch like this in the futur.

Nevetheless, it would be great to have  the pont of view of scipy and pooch 
maintainer.


thanks

Frederic


IMHO the cleanest solution would be to have separate scipy-dataset packages.

In that case, as you, say, we will probably need a patch to scipy to make it look a the shared location before trying to download data in the user's cache folder.


kind regards
