04/28/2021, 4:14 AMI am interested in trying out Pants to run tests for an existing machine learning project in which third-party dependencies are specified via a conda env.yml file that is used to create a conda environment. To use Pants, would I need to re-specify the dependencies in requirements.txt format, or could I somehow get Pants to make use of the existing conda environment?

05/06/2021, 11:42 PMHey @fierce-spring-67521, do those channels work with pip, or is Conda doing something custom? https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-third-party-dependencies#using-custom-repositories

One example is a package containing set of standard shell scripts that are bundled together with a Makefile. The standard way to use these scripts is to write your own Makefile that starts with the line
include $[CONDA_PREFIX}/<package_name>/<makefile>6 Views
