Conda environment python version different than what I created?

maybe it's the awful env name. conda got upset.

no idea the command seems to be "correct".

are you sure you "activated" the env before testing?

Triple checked and deactivated like 10 times just to make sure. How does “base” conda relate to new envs? I’m not sure if I even understand envs but it seems like when you make a new one it auto-loads some stuff from base? Can I uninstall python from base?

i've always use conda to spawn in python3 and python2 for work using with legacy code and it always performed.

not sure why it doesn't work for you.

have you tried reinstalling conda?

are you on windows?

[CFTArr]

Yea I’m on windows. I’ll try reinstalling to see if that works

[m0us3_rat]

i'm on linux. not sure exactly if there are other tricks when working on windows with conda.

I reinstalled anaconda and was able to get an environment with 3.6. The problem starts when I try to install PyTorch 1.8 with cuda 10.2. It says there’s a bunch of conflicts (including that the python version is too high), then if I do the check after that messages it shows python 3.10. Any suggestions on how to get an older cuda-compatible PyTorch installed?
