Any plan of supporting conda for the non-scientific community? #7671

Description

@collinsethans

We came across Anaconda yesterday, while trying to migratate our production s/w from py2 to py3. We like the ease of using it.

#1 We installed miniconda3 and find that there are many packages installed that we don't want. For eg: ipython, ipykernel, jupyter, matplotlib, etc. We actually don't use these and would like to have an installation where these packages are not installed by default, more of a bare and clean environment to start with. Is that possible?

#2 We find that tornado=5.1 is installed. For our production version, we use an older one, tornado=3.1. We installed it, however, there seems to be some path issues, and tornado 5.1 gets imported.

import tornado
tornado.version
'5.1'

How to install and use an older version of an already installed package?

Will be really glad if you can help us with these info. If things go smooth, we would be inclined to use it on our production server.

Best.
