Update package of anaconda python

Question

I'm working with python 3.4 . I use anaconda to install my data-science's packages and I need the statsmodels 0.8 :

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/statsmodels/

but on anaconda there is only the statsmodels 0.6 :

https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/pkg-docs

And I really need to work with conda for the deployment.

Any idea of how can I have the 0.8 ?

Answer 1

IF a package is available on PyPi, you can use

conda skeleton pypi package 

to create a condo-recipe for that package, then

conda build package
conda install --use-local package 

to build and install the package
