Create an anaconda environment with an specific installed Python interpreter

Question

I'm using anaconda for manage my Python's environments and I want to create an env with a python executable file as interpreter. I didn't find similar question on other topic.

To be more precise, I don't want to create an env like this :

conda create --name my_env python=3.6.9

I want to create an env with a pre-installed python interpreter, tell to anaconda where to find the python executable file in my machine (in my case /usr/bin/python3 ) and use it as the interpreter for the env. Is it possible?

Answer 1

The only way I can imagine accomplishing this would be to make your own build of the python package. Perhaps having a look at how Conda Forge does this might be informative, though you can likely do a very trimmed down version depending on where you expect to run it.

Otherwise, no, not possible, AFAIK.
