sugar, spice, &terminal? nice<p><strong>Why can’t we (pip and conda) be friends?</strong></p> "Don't mix pip and conda" - is the general advice from Anaconda, or if you must, use pip after conda. But why? One of the reasons is that conda and pip have different ways of tracking which packages are installed in an environment, and which packages should be installed in an environment. Let's dig in. <p><a href="https://terminal.space/tech/why-cant-we-pip-and-conda-be-friends/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">terminal.space/tech/why-cant-w</span><span class="invisible">e-pip-and-conda-be-friends/</span></a></p>
