What is the difference between using conda pip install and conda skeleton?

Question

I need to install a python package from pypi

Which are the differences between installing it directly in the conda enviroment using conda pip install, and using conda skeleton to build a conda package from the pypi package, and then add install it to the conda enviroment.

Answer 1

The difference is similar to using Software installer to install packages and apt-get install to install packages in Ubuntu. conda pip transfers whole control to pip for installing the required package whereas, conda skeleton uses functionality of conda itself to do all the necessary work step by step.
