I give :). Based on citations, questions to the mailing list, and age of
the various Python projects, I think the predominant use of Python in Amber
is MMPBSA.py, which carries with it only what ParmEd needs to run (Python
2.7 + numpy these days, which is a lot more than it used to require).
For that, miniconda+everything seems like overkill. But on the flip side,
deciding on a "standardized" setup *drastically* reduces the effort we need
to spend to fully test all "common" user configurations. My only
trepidation here is that, on OS X, the libc++/libstdc++ issues still seem
to be wreaking havoc with pytraj and cpptraj. I hope we can soon find
something to settle on to make deployment easy, because the added benefit
from stability, performance, and avoiding effort duplication we get by
integrating with mature Python packages provided through the Anaconda stack
is a big win.
All the best,
Jason
