I try to package a software that contains of a Julia package and a Python wrapper. The wrapper uses http, so no PythonCall is used.

Questions:

1. would it be possible to package it such that it can be installed with `pip`? If yes, could pip install Julia via juliaup?
2. can I document the Python API using Documenter.jl ? If not, what would would be a good and simple alternative?

Yes and yes. Diffeqpy is setup like this.

I don’t think the docstrings would work

You can use [GitHub - JuliaPy/pyjuliapkg: Manage your Julia dependencies from Python](https://github.com/JuliaPy/pyjuliapkg) to handle installing Julia and any required Julia packages. It’s what JuliaCall uses.
