Doing some diving on packaging Meltano and some other python packagers for a client to make install a bit easier. I have steered clear of conda for a while, but when I got back into packaging I had to take a look. https://pythonspeed.com/articles/conda-vs-pip/ this article does a pretty great job breaking it down. For my requirements it fits pretty well but thought I'd share for others who are new to Python and don't have the background with conda!
