I think though that making `pip install leo-editor` work with or without Anaconda is very valuable from the point of view of making Leo easy for people to try. Tell people to install Anaconda, and first they see what is still a semi-commercial system, and then the find the download is ~500 Mb, which is an impediment for some people and gives the impression it's going to install a lot of stuff in your system. Of course miniconda is a much lighter weight solution, but then you have to handle dependencies again. pip is definitely the most cross-platform light weight out of the box installer for Python apps.
