如果同时需要 conda 和 pip 的包怎么办？

Question

I've been developing my project with pip (django, drm etc). Now I need to use faiss, which only has unofficial package on pip (official - in conda). What should I do in this situation? Can I combine them somehow? Or should I migrate to conda?

If you're using a non-conda environment, then you're limited to using pip only. That is, pip does not know how to install conda packages.

But if you switch to using conda , then you can use either. The general recommendation is to install everything with conda if possible, but use pip when you have no other choice.

I recommend installing Miniconda , then creating a new environment for all of your dependencies. If necessary, add pip -only dependencies (if you have any).

conda create --name alex python=3.8 pip django requests bla-bla-bla
conda activate alex
pip install drm foo bar yada-yada

If you need uncommon or bleeding-edge packages, you might also consider obtaining your conda packages from the conda-forge channel, rather than the defaults channel. See here for instructions.
