Sure. Do whatever you want, I don’t think anyone here thinks you absolutely 
must use pip. :) [1]

My point is just that even if you narrow yourself down to CPython 3.6.0 there 
are still variations that can cause problems so each project individually ends 
up needing to decide what they support. Often times “unsupported” variations 
will still work unless they go out of their way to break it, but not always.


[1] There seems to be some animosity among pip supporters and conda supports, 
or at least a perception that there is. I’d just like to say that this isn’t 
really shared (to my knowledge) by the development teams of either project. I 
think everyone involved thinks folks should use whatever solution best allows 
them to solve whatever problem they are having.
