Thanks for these comments. Imo, Anaconda has become harder to use in the
last year or so. Not sure why.

*Aha*: Now that Leo requires python 3, we can assume pip is always
available. (Actually, people may have to use apt-get on Linux to get pip3.)
In my recent experience, pip is easier to use and more solid than conda.
Ymmv.

I am seriously considering ignoring Anaconda and miniconda in Leo's
installation instructions:

Install python 3
(ubuntu) apt-get install pip3
pip install PyQt5
(optional, if not using git) pip install leo

And that's it. Comments?
