I am also interested in this idea n.b. https://github.com/conda/grayskull/pull/541 and https://github.com/conda/conda-build/pull/5380
Do we also have a way to install without leaving a copy in the package cache, in case we generate a confusing number of them or have ephemeral "make a single local project editable" wheels?
I guess we would only cache the stuff that comes from PyPI, not the editable installs or dynamic references from Github. conda clean
would take care of removing the unnecessary stuff too.
Can conda install a .conda without leaving it in pkgs/cache?
I don't think there's an option for that. We would have to inject a temporary location for the pkgs_dirs setting and maybe discard it afterwards?
Wondering if there's a net positive in using
whl2conda
for this. The rough logic would be to:pip install --no-deps ...
directly, convert to.conda
beforehand withwhl2conda
and then install that withconda --no-deps
