conda-pypi#
Welcome to the conda-pypi documentation!
conda-pypi provides better PyPI interoperability for the conda ecosystem.
It allows you to safely install PyPI packages in conda environments by
converting them to conda format when possible, while falling back to
traditional pip installation when needed.
The tool is available in conda versions 26.5 and newer. When configured
with the conda-pypi channel (hosted by Anaconda) and the Rattler solver,
the tool makes pure Python packages from PyPI available through
the conda install command, with no extra conversion needed.
The tool also offers two main commands for more advanced usage: conda pypi install
for safer PyPI package installation with an intelligent hybrid approach,
and conda pypi convert for converting PyPI packages to .conda format
without installing them. The smart installation strategy ensures that
explicitly requested packages come from PyPI while dependencies are sourced
from conda channels when available.
conda-pypi includes support for development workflows through editable
installations with the -e flag for local project directories.
conda-pypi also installs EXTERNALLY-MANAGED marker files when you install
the plugin, discouraging direct pip use that can destabilize conda-managed
environments.
