<div dir="ltr"><div>Yarik,</div><div><br></div> In working on installing a conda environment I have two questions (which I'll bring up in today's meeting, but wanted to give you a moment to ponder) :<div><br></div><div>1) <b>Temp directories for installation - </b>I need to download conda somewhere before I install it into its final location. Conda itself uses tempfile.mkdtemp() to store its temporary downloads, but that doesn't work in the context of sessions. So I'm pondering "mktemp -d". Do we do something similar that I didn't find? </div><div><br></div><div>2) <b>Placing environments</b> - Right now I'm looking at placing conda environments in the directory specified by the specs (sort of obvious). This works perfectly on dockers and other ephemeral environments, but may be destructive on a local shell. So I was going to quit if the environment already existed. Is that OK behavior? Could a future feature request be to provide an installation prefix for local shell installs?</div><div><br></div><div>Butch</div></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span><div style="color:rgb(117,117,117);font-family:"helvetica neue",helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:19.5px;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><div dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;line-height:normal"><span><span><span><span><b style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:10px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">Robert Buccigrossi, Ph.D. PMP PSM-1,</b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:10px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;float:none;display:inline"><span class="inbox-inbox-inbox-inbox-inbox-inbox-inbox-inbox-inbox-inbox-inbox-inbox-Apple-converted-space"> </span>CTO</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:helvetica;font-size:10px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px"><font color="#990000" style="font-family:helvetica;font-size:10px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px"><b>TCG, Inc. -
