Hypothesis:
For a given package ABC, if conda installs it without any additional arguments, pip install the same package without any additional arguments, they are not coming from the same source. They will have a slightly different version, patch or minor.
Procedure:
- Below is a list of packages. Every day for a month, they will be installed in a fresh environment using conda, and another fresh environment using pip.
- The versions will be noted every day.
- At the end of the month, see which of the five packages deviated the most and the least, between their corresponding conda and pip versions.
Test Package Samples:
- pandas
- numpy
- scipy
- matplotlib
- scikit-learn
- requests
