Conda build

[rgbkrk]

Somewhat of a follow on to #136.

All of our (Jupyter/IPython) Docker environments rely on conda, which means we need this setup in order for it to be packaged with our conda environments.

What's the status of this? Would be great to officially support conda. :)

Great. Yeah, I remember putting a little effort into this before but ended up never merging it. @rgbkrk any thoughts on maintenance? I'm wondering if we can do the following:

1. create a makefile target (or something) that basically automates the creation of the meta.yaml file
2. add a test that enforces the version in the meta.yaml file matches the version in setup.py. this test should be helpful in suggesting we run the command from (1).

Does that make sense? Is there a better way to keep these things in sync?

[rgbkrk]

You'd think for a package like this that's pure Python that Conda would have something to auto generate this at release time. Have you submitted this to a plotly channel on Anaconda.org?

Have you submitted this to a plotly channel on Anaconda.org?

Nope, haven't looked into doing that yet. Please do! Or, if you don't have time, I can look into it.

Just found this, sorry for duplication. I did the same over at #523 with the current 1.12.4 version and a small readme. I can confirm that my build runs (https://anaconda.org/chohner/plotly), at least on the current OSX with python 3.5.

Closing in favor of #523.
