Python and Its Package - Environment Management
Python has always been the first choice for many programming tasks. This - of course - debatable since some problems exist in Python world, but let me tell you, in IEEE Spectrum top programming languages, Python is the winner from IEEE Spectrum and Trending category while SQL beats it in Job category.
As a long time developer who use Python since release 2.x (I insist on using Python for the whole curriculum in Universitas Teknologi Digital Indonesia back in 2004), currently I use Miniconda a lot (with conda as its package and environment manager). Conda is a beautiful piece of software of course. I use it to manage my package and create mine. Using it, I can create an environment with specific Python version and also its own packages. However, when I use it for my software with many packages, It runs quite slow. So, I start to look for a drop in replacement. There goes Mamba!. It comes with faster and better at resolving package dependencies. Here’s the reason why Mamba is faster and better from Mamba Github:
- Parallel downloading of repository data and package files using multi-threading
- libsolv for much faster dependency solving, a state of the art library used in the RPM package manager of Red Hat, Fedora and OpenSUSE
- core parts of mamba are implemented in C++ for maximum efficiency
Installation
To use Mamba, I suggest you to use it from Miniforge. Download and install from that GitHub:

Do you wish to update your shell profile to automatically initialize conda?
This will activate conda on startup and change the command prompt when activated.
If you'd prefer that conda's base environment not be activated on startup,
run the following command when conda is activated:
conda config --set auto_activate_base false
You can undo this by running `conda init --reverse $SHELL`? [yes|no]
[no] >>> no
You have chosen to not have conda modify your shell scripts at all.
To activate conda's base environment in your current shell session:
eval "$(/home/bpdp/software/python-dev-tools/miniforge3/bin/conda shell.YOUR_SHELL_NAME hook)"
To install conda's shell functions for easier access, first activate, then:
conda init
Thank you for installing Miniforge3!

Note that I use Fish shell. if you use bash, just conda init and mamba init, no need to use conda init fish and mamba init fish. Initialize conda and mamba (in this order since mamba uses environment variable from conda):

I usually don’t activate software by default, instead I will define some environment variables so that I can source them whenever I need to. Here, I created a file for environment variables definition:
$ cat ~/env/fish/python-mamba
source /home/bpdp/software/python-dev-tools/miniforge3/etc/fish/conf.d/conda.fish
source /home/bpdp/software/python-dev-tools/miniforge3/etc/fish/conf.d/mamba.fish
set -x PATH "/home/bpdp/software/python-dev-tools/miniforge3/bin" $PATH
$
Usage
Everytime I want to use Python and Mamba, I just source the file which I created:
$ source ~/env/fish/python-mamba
$
and then I can start using Mamba and Conda. Of course I will use Mamba for this post. Mamba is a drop in replacement for Conda, therefore, it understands and run all Conda parameters.
$ mamba
usage: mamba [-h] [-v] [--no-plugins] [-V] COMMAND ...
conda is a tool for managing and deploying applications, environments and packages.
options:
-h, --help Show this help message and exit.
-v, --verbose Can be used multiple times. Once for detailed output, twice for INFO logging, thrice for DEBUG logging, four times for TRACE logging.
--no-plugins Disable all plugins that are not built into conda.
-V, --version Show the conda version number and exit.
commands:
The following built-in and plugins subcommands are available.
COMMAND
activate Activate a conda environment.
clean Remove unused packages and caches.
compare Compare packages between conda environments.
config Modify configuration values in .condarc.
create Create a new conda environment from a list of specified packages.
deactivate Deactivate the current active conda environment.
doctor Display a health report for your environment.
env See `conda env --help`.
info Display information about current conda install.
init Initialize conda for shell interaction.
install Install a list of packages into a specified conda environment.
list List installed packages in a conda environment.
notices Retrieve latest channel notifications.
package Create low-level conda packages. (EXPERIMENTAL)
remove (uninstall)
Remove a list of packages from a specified conda environment.
rename Rename an existing environment.
repoquery Advanced search for repodata.
repoquery Query repositories using mamba.
run Run an executable in a conda environment.
search Search for packages and display associated information using the MatchSpec format.
update (upgrade) Update conda packages to the latest compatible version.
$
Let’s create an environment with latest Python version (3.12)
$ mamba create -n py312-de python=3.12
