Hi Tim,

Thank you for your tdameritrade package is very nice and clean. The API is conceptually direct and streamlined.

I know this might be viewed as primarily a preference issue, but (if you use conda) could you please be so kind as to provide a conda package for your tdameritrade package?

I use conda whenever possible, because it does environment consistency checking that pip does not. I have had quite a few problems by installing pip packages (using pip) into my conda environments and then the conda package index gets out of sink, corrupting things. It then requires a precious time to fix things or rebuild a new environment. There is still a problem with interleaving pip and conda packages into a conda environment. We need a better tool with the advantages of both the pip package managers and the conda environment manager. I don't (yet) know how to convert pip to conda packages, or if there's a reliable pip to conda package converter. Perhaps you know of an easy fix for this besides using pip only?

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Rich Lysakowski
