<div>Dear Mr. Pietro Moras,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The subject of scientific computing in Python it is complicated because of the plethora of multi depended Python packages. For that reason the Conda virtual environment and Anaconda index repository manager is developed. My setup is depended on Conda environments,
and Anaconda index and PyPI repositories.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
To come over with the Python, Conda and Eric computing ecosystem complexity I developed some batch scripts (CMD in Windows). I automated the installation of Python distribution with Miniconda, which is the minimal installation of Anaconda distribution for Python,
the creation of my virtual environments with Conda, the installation of the desired packages with Conda and Pip, and the installation of Eric with the cloning and setup execution of its repository last revision. I consider that it is important the Conda functionalities
to be integrated to Eric but I really don't know how to integrate a packaging of the mixture of Conda and Pip installed packages, because of some differences in the installation directories between them. I never tried cx-freeze or pyinstaller and I don't have
any specific experience on the subject of automatic on package deploying.<br>
