Fail to import pdal version 3.3.0 because libpdalpython could not be found #164

Hi team, I tried to import pdal but I got this error

      1 __version__ = "3.3.0"
      2 __all__ = ["Pipeline", "Stage", "Reader", "Filter", "Writer", "dimensions", "info"]
----> 4 from . import libpdalpython
      5 from .drivers import inject_pdal_drivers
      6 from .pipeline import Filter, Pipeline, Reader, Stage, Writer

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing libpdalpython: The specified module could not be found.

I'm not sure if this is the same issue as mentioned here https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/issues/2299. Could you please help?

You must have the base PDAL package installed before the Python bindings can work. If you are using Conda Forge packages, you should have both pdal and python-pdal packages installed. If elsewhere, make sure to have base C++ library installed too.

The issue is the 'pdal' package from PyPI is also getting installed for some reason. 

pip uninstall PDAL

This should fix the issue. We need pdal and python-pdal from conda, not the PDAL package from PyPI.

I wonder if this is getting pulled as a PyPI dependency from something... 🤔
