Multiple times I have started writing an easyblock and in the end gave up and went the easy way to conda install stuff for users. This is mainly because of the enormous amount of work to do for a 'simple' pypi package, e.g. finding the dependencies, list the correct version of them, find their dependencies, hopefully find an already existing easyconfig for a dependency like scipy....

Would it be feasible to make a command like eb create_easyconfig_from_pypi chromosight foss2021a to construct easyconfigs based on a given pypi package?!

@scholtalbers It's a good idea, and something I've been toying with a bit, but making this rock solid would be a lot of work.

That said, it probably doesn't have to be rock-solid, if we would have something like this that gives you an easyconfig file to start from, that would already be a big step for sure...
