Thanks for the contribution! I'll need a little time to learn about pixi before I can really review this, but at a glance this seems like exactly what we're after.

Don't worry about the 👁️=true tests - these require access to a license that we don't expose to forks.

You're right that this behavior isn't tested ... or, more accurately, it's not explicitly a part of any specific tests. It's built into the automation: CI installs different Python distributions by different mechanisms, so in different cases some are and aren't available. There's one for pixi which I'll looking into adding here (no need to do it yourself).

@mattwthompson ah good point, I see now. If you want I am happy to add that small step to the matrix definition and see if I can make that work. I could probably take a quick look tomorrow.

@mattwthompson added the necessary pipelines to check the pixi support.
Hope this is fine with you and look forward to your review.

Looks like expected tests as passing - thanks, will have a look soon

No problem, sorry it took a few tries, missed some (pretty obvious 🤦 ) stuff in the intermediate commits. Glad we got it sorted and it is working now :) 👍

@sbtq could you have a look at #90?

@sbtq could you have a look at #90?

I think that looks fine.

[mattwthompson]

This morphed into #90, which will also intersect in some ways with #94

Thanks for the contribution @sbtq, and sorry this took so long
