conda-pypi#
Welcome to the conda-pypi documentation!
conda-pypi provides better PyPI interoperability for the conda ecosystem.
It allows you to safely install Python distribution 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 advanced commands: conda pypi convert for converting
Python projects to .conda format without installing them, and conda pypi index for indexing a local directory of .whl files to create a local conda
channel.
conda pypi install is pending deprecation and will be removed in version
27.9. It remains useful for editable installs of local project directories with
the -e flag and for fetching wheels from a custom package index with
--index-url.
conda-pypi also installs EXTERNALLY-MANAGED marker files when you install
the plugin, discouraging direct pip use that can destabilize conda-managed
environments.
