Bug fixes:
- Delay data cache folder creation until the first download is attempted. As seen in recent issues in scikit-image, creating the data folder in
pooch.createcan cause problems since this function is called at import time. This means that importing the package in parallel can cause race conditions and crashes. To prevent that from happening, delay the creation of the cache folder untilPooch.fetchorretrieveare called. (#173) - Allow the data folder to already exist when creating it. This is can help cope with parallel execution as well. (#171)
Documentation:
- Added scikit-image to list of Pooch users. (#168)
- Fix typo in README and front page contributing section. (#166)
