Conda has a silver and has been available for however many years. It also works well with pip.

Among people complain about python package management, I have never heard an argument against Conda other than “I don’t like that they recompile base python”. What’s your reason to discount conda?

Our python is compiled with the latest versions of gcc (on Linux) and clang (on macOS). So you're getting gcc 7.2 compiled python on RHEL/CentOS 6. And all of the security and performance enhancements that come along with it [1]. (Ok we're still on 7.2; we'll update to 7.3 in the next couple months.)
