Minimal working example of how to use Conda inside Julia modules

TestingConda

This is a minimal working example on how to use Conda inside Julia modules.

This includes an example on how to install packages not available from the main repository of pip (skfeature package).

Notes

There are 2 main scenarios which depends on the value assigned to the env variable in ENV["PYTHON"] in julia REPL:

1. to use Conda environment you need to set ENV["PYTHON"] = "" and then (re)build PyCall;
2. to use the main python environment you need to set ENV["PYTHON"] = "/usr/bin/python" and then (re)build PyCall and the install dependencies manually for you user using pip as you would normally do to them in python.
