    initial v1  
    1 I've been working on this, on and off.  The problem comes from the fact that the mdtraj is only available in source form.  I haven't been able to figure what exactly is going wrong, but I a workaround that I need to think more about the possible side effects.  I've milestoned this to make sure this is fixed before 1.2 comes out.  For testing purposes, you can download the mdtraj package source and use Chimera's python to build and install it (python setup.py install).  Then, when you install your bundle, the dependency will already be taken care of, and your bundle should install.

    33Long term, the fact that mdtraj is only available is source form is a big problem.  Windows users typically do not have a compiler installed and they are the largest installed base.  And for macOS and Linux, even though the compilers are often available, they are not guaranteed to be.  If this were a bundle the RBVI developed, we would compile it and stick it in our repository.  We do not want to be in the business of compiling third party packages, nor keeping them up-to-date, but that might be necessary for your bundle to be usable on the toolshed.
