Should conda, or conda-forge be used for Python environments?
The conda-forge channel is where you can find packages that have been built for conda but yet to be part of the official Anaconda distribution.
Generally, you can use any of them.
Conda and conda-forge are both Python package managers. What is the appropriate choice when a package exists in both repositories? Django, for example, can be installed with either, but the difference between the two is several dependencies (conda-forge has many more). There is no explanation for these differences, not even a simple README.
Which one should be used? Conda or conda-forge? Does it matter?
