(base) C:\Users\[redacted]>conda run --name test_py36 python --version
Python 3.7.1
(base) C:\Users\[redacted]>conda run --name test_py36 where python
C:\Users\[redacted]\miniconda\python.exe
Expected Behavior
conda run -n <env> python ... should use the python interpreter in the specified conda environment, not the python interpreter in the base environment.
