Any suggestion, advicces are greatly appreciated.

Hi, I haven't taken a look at this. I need a conda environment to work against. Any tips? I think adding support would be straightforward.

Thanks for the great writeup! We can absolutely support the Conda env variables. I borrowed a lot of code from other projects and one of them has a build.rs that references conda and env vars. I bet you need to do something similar. Or perhaps the build.rs could call a conda CLI and get a path from there?

I'm going to ask @kraftaa to take a look when she has a chance. Thanks for the feedback!

This code worked fine in my condaenv. Thanks!!
