Hi I just came across https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/configuration/pip-interoperability.html#improving-interoperability-with-pip

With this interoperability, conda can use pip-installed packages to satisfy dependencies, cleanly remove pip-installed software, and replace them with conda packages when appropriate.

If you’d like to try the feature, you can set this

.condarc

setting:

Copy code

conda config --set pip_interop_enabled True

which seems to suggest you can now use conda to install pip only packages. Can anyone confirm whether this works with metaflow? and also mamba?

Hi Sean - we are actively working with the mamba community to get symmetric support for pip within micromamba. Once that is in - we will be able to support

@pip

as a first-class citizen in Metaflow.

Happy new year! great!! do you have an ETA?

We are actively researching this and have committed resources. Hopefully, this quarter 🤞

there is a non-supported option if you want pip and conda right now: https://pypi.org/project/metaflow-netflixext/. It supports pip + conda as of now (not pip only though). Again, not fully supported but if you want something now, it does work 🙂. Feedback is most welcome. Please read the readme (also found here: https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow-nflx-extensions)
