Pkg.add("PyCall") still installs its own small PYthon distribution?
As far as I know, if there is no PYTHON environnement variable and no
`python` in path, then the automatic MiniConda Python installation is used.

Yes, it is small for a scientific Python distribution. The fulll
Anaconda installer is 1.2G. The standard Python installation is 78M,
which is smaller, and you can install it first if you want to use it
instead of Conda installation. But the standard Python do not have
numpy/scipy/... and they are a pain to install on Windows.
