@xhochy thanks for the test hint. I do not understand why it fails with

+ pip check
aptools 0.2.4 requires openpmd-api, which is not installed.

because openpmd-api is installed as part of the run section.

Note that openPMD-api is not installed with pip but simply placed correctly in a CMake install in the Python site-packages directories of conda.

I do not understand why it fails

pip check is a tool designed for the pip ecosystem and as such, IME, it doesn't always work with conda packages. When it does, it's nice to have as it adds an extra layer of protection against publishing broken packages, but when it doesn't I just skip it.

There is a feature request for pip to allow ignoring certain packages so we can still get the benefits for the rest:

• Add --ignore flag to pip check pypa/pip#11157
• Add --ignore-packages to pip check pypa/pip#11159
