@Archmonger I'm having some trouble with this on Windows, do you think you can try this branch out and see what's happening. In the meantime I'm gonna purchase a Windows license and install it on an old laptop so I can test this stuff myself going forward.

Never mind. Got past the windows issue.

We're at the final stretch of releasing a new version of our software (Tethys Platform) that introduces reactpy (see this PR). Because our project is deeply rooted in the conda world, the last item that remains is getting reactpy, reactpy-router and reactpy-django added to the conda-forge channel (essentially addressing discussion #850).

I already submitted a PR to the conda-forge/staged-recipes repo, but the automated build checks are failing due to this same sdist issue. So this is my current roadblock. I'm highly motivated to help move things along, but unfortunately I'm fairly novice in many of the underlying technologies/infrastructure used by this project (e.g. Hatch, Invoke, NodeJS, NPM). I'm slowly trying to get up to speed to be more helpful, and will continue to see if there's anything I can tackle myself here. Thanks for everything you've stepped in to do for me in the meantime.

I will take a stab at finalizing this PR soon.

There's honestly a lot I want to do to "streamline" the CI in core, but I'll need to do that in a future PR.

I'm going to count this as "good enough".

Functionally works, but is fairly janky. As mentioned in my previous post, I'll need to overhaul all of core's CI in a future PR to get rid of the jank.
