You can install many PyPI packages with conda </span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl"> using the conda-pypi beta.

The message suggests that, can <code>conda install</code> and <code>pip install</code> finally work together safely? This makes me excited as mixing <code>conda install</code> and <code>pip install</code> in a conda environment usually causes confusion when the dependencies are resolved.
