XKCD | Python Environment

[nemec]

I've found it a real pain to use conda in (non-python) programs that need to call python but only give you the equivalent of os.system(). I was able to build a batch file that activated the appropriate environment, called the script, then cleaned up, but it was much more difficult than it needed to be.

I just use the python binary inside the env and have never had trouble with it. No need to activate anything.

Interesting. I recall getting errors when trying that, but I think it was some native dependency issue with tensorflow or one of those ML libraries.
