 Anaconda doesn't really have anything to do with conda-the-technology.

True.  Also though, in answer to the a question here, I asked a Continuum
colleague on the conda team.  It seems that Anaconda was built using a
proprietary system before conda-build and conda-recipes was opened, so not
all recipes have made it over to the Free side of the fence yet.  But
y'know, gh:conda-build *is*  a public repository, anyone could add more.

Understood.

In the case of pyyaml, this is actually what's "behind the wall"

It's not *only* the 'setup.py install', but it's not *that* much mystery
either.  wxPython I can't seem to find, not sure what I'm missing.

the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born,
become abortifacients against new conceptions.
