Installing Orekit 11.3 through pip

Hello!

Currently I’m using anaconda to manage my enviroment and so I use conda to install orekit 11.3 through conda-forge channel

However I’m planning to stop using anaconda and just use python venv, so I wanted to install orekit 11.3 through pip

However it seems this is not possible for versions below orekit 12, do you confirm?
If not possible now, do you have plans to have orekit 11.3 available to be installed through pip?

Thank you for the support in advance

Hi @jpedro500

This is correct observation, the orekit_jpype wrapper was later introduced, you can see the available versions at orekit-jpype · PyPI

Technically I do not foresee any major technical issue with getting the current orekit_jpype with the 11.3 release, there are some help functions that may need an overhaul. Note that although the “java part” is same, how to interact with it for a bit more advance usage differ between the versions, espeso you do need to rewrite your python code a bit. A hack version of 11.3 can be obtained by just replacing the jar in the library with the one for 11.3 and see how it works but there may be things needs fixing in the helper functions.

But since you may be need to go through the code, I would suggest considering moving to a more recent version?

There are no plans to release version 11 on the new wrapper as of now..
