Interesting. I’m looking forward to your future posts.
One question I have in mind when dealing with PyPI vs conda is that why wouldn’t conda already solved all the problems with PyPI. My own answers to that includes 1) PyPI is still the de facto place to claim a namespace and it would be foolish to only release it in conda and not PyPI, and 2) there are many more packages available in PyPI and not conda, and the effort to just make all PyPI packages I used available in PyPI is too laborious.
Another issue is that many packages available on PyPI are not packaged well, from version constraints to setup.py madness to licensing issues. People managing the conda-forge channel is more gate keeping about those issues. I wonder even if the tooling around PyPI is improved, the community culture is much more difficult to be changed.
