CEP 48, which brings conditionals and extras to your @conda.org dependencies, is now accepted! This means you will soon be able to type things like `typing-extensions[when='python<=3.10']`  and `scipy[extras=test]` 🚀

Conda packages have extras now.

Optional dependency groups you declare and then consume, via v3 repodata. Plus when conditions and variant flags.

We’ve been working on improving the experience for conda users who need packages from both conda and PyPI, and we’re excited to invite you to try it!

🚀 You can now opt into the conda-pypi beta, which enables conda to discover, install, and manage Python packages from PyPI natively: buff.ly/pKKBzOz

conda-pypi beta enables conda CLI to install pure Python packages from PyPI natively and alongside conda packages in a single dependency solve, without a separate pip step

This is the year conda CLI gets a glow-up! 💅

Faster operations, clear progress, errors that actually help you fix things, better integration with PyPI, and new environment workflows.

The conda steering council recently approved a set of CEPs (conda enhancement proposals) that effectively standardize the conda ecosystem. This is a big milestone worth celebrating! 🎉

Congratulations to our friends at Anaconda for shipping CEP-16 (sharded repodata). If you use conda-forge from anaconda.org servers, pixi & rattler-build got magically a lot faster!

Sharded repodata in conda (beta): an order of magnitude faster | conda.org
Conda fetches repodata much more quickly. Learn how we did it and who helped along the way.

Anaconda.org and conda adopt sharded repodata! 🚀

CEP 16, introduced by @prefix.dev, splits the massive repodata files into per-project shards. This allows clients to only fetch what they need, resulting in significant speedups!

Conda ≠ PyPI

Conda isn’t just another Python package manager-it’s a multi-language, user-space distribution system.

In this 3-part series, we explore the fundamental differences between conda and PyPI.

Just the Python entry point directly. No ~/.bashrc or Windows registry edits! Simply one more entry in PATH.
