I am using anaconda as package manager and tried to install rst2pdf to be able to output a PDF using sphinx for a python program.

However I get the following readback when I try to run the published command:

conda install -c dfroger rst2pdf

WARNING: The conda.compat module is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - rst2pdf

I don't know a work around for this issue. Is it maybe a problem, that rst2pdf on conda seems to be for linux only? I'm confused on this.

Maybe there is another way to be able to output a pdf file using sphinx and python through conda?

It appears that dfroger is just some random user's channel, which hasn't been updated in two years, and unless you know/trust that person you should not be attempting to install from there. Otherwise, there aren't any Conda channels to source that package from, so instead follow the recommended installation and install through PyPI - just make sure to activate the Conda environment first.

conda activate your_env
pip install rst2pdf
