Most Python packages do this by declaring the packages (and versions)
they depend on, in the Distutils metadata.

Why doesn't Anaconda declare that, so I can install Anaconda by telling
Pip to bring in all its dependencies in a unified way with other Python
packages?

Thank you. Is this more than a Python ‘venv’ environment? What would I
need to do to have a ‘venv’ environment set up so the Anaconda
assumptions will work?

I have a list of dependencies (a YAML file) for the ‘conda’ tool. Are
they just PyPI packages that I can also install with Pip?
