I mean yes those are two different areas, but I’m not sure about the split between Conda and pip here. As far as I can tell Conda is useful in the same way apt-get or yum is useful, you get a non Python specific set of packages (because sometimes things aren’t pure python) and you also remove a little bit of thinking about versions (although honestly I think it’s possible to remove most of that for consumers of packages). To be quite frank, a lot of the benefit of Conda outside of the “I need something that isn’t strictly Python) is in the fact they can bootstrap compiled packages whereas pip/wheel/PyPI combination we need to convince authors to upload their own binary packages (or at least develop something to make it easier like a build farm). ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
