although conda is free to use, we should check their license for the right to distribute.

curl -o miniconda.sh http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash miniconda.sh
conda create -n rd27 python=2.7
source activate rd27
conda install ipython ipython-notebook pillow pandas
conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/rdkit rdkit
We should at least try to use conda for one release in order to evaluate it. This can potentially make installing rdkit lot easier.
But there is one more thing - there will be point in the future when we decide to use Python 3 by default. On the other hand it could be difficult to convert all our software to Python 3 in one go. So at least one future myChEMBL release will have to have two different python versions installed. This is the case where conda can be very helpful.
