It's not. some people are solving this problem with https://github.com/conda/conda https://github.com/conda/conda. There are many ways to use conda for deployment. My preferred approach is the following: For builds: - build a conda environment for your project - export your conda environment using conda list -e, and then take all the conda packages for those and put them into a single tarball For deployment - bootstrap a base python environment using miniconda http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html - install that tarball of packages with conda install <mytarball.tar> It's not as simple as a jar, but it's reasonably close
