Final note after a long thread: Just like Nick pointed out in his original post (if I read it right) , the pip vs the conda approach comes down to this:
Do you want to a system to manage the whole stack? or do you want a system to manage Python packages? Personally, I think that no matter how you slice it, someone needs to manage the whole stack. I find it highly preferable to manage the whole stack with one tool. And even more so to manage the stack on multiple platforms with the same tool. But others have reasons to manage part of the stack (python itself, for instance) with a particular system, and thus only need a tool to manage the python packages part. Two different deployment use cases, that will probably always exist. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
