Unable to update with newest panel, creating a new environment not straightforward

Although listed under conda search -c pyviz panel, I am unable to either update panel nor create a new environment. I want to use python 3.7 with bokeh 2.0, however the conda error message doesn’t show the list of problematic packages!

>conda create -n pyviztest python=3.7 bokeh
(works fine)

>conda activate pyviztest

> conda install -c pyviz panel

(suggests 0.7, so I cancelled)

> conda install -c pyviz panel=0.9.1

As you can see, not showing the conflicts.

If trying to create directly
>conda create -n pyviztest2 python=3.7 panel=0.9.1

Package python conflicts for:
panel=0.9.1 → python[version=‘>=2.7’]
python=3.7
panel=0.9.1 → bokeh[version=‘>=2.0.0’] → python[version=‘>=2.7,<2.8.0a0|>=3.6,<3.7.0a0|>=3.7,<3.8.0a0|>=3.8,<3.9.0a0|>=3.5,<3.6.0a0’]

It shows more information, although it makes little sense to me. Isn’t python 3.7 >= python 3.7?

Without mentioning python version:

conda create -n pyviztest2 -c pyviz panel=0.9.1

:thinking:

so by adding the conda-forge channel it works (and invites using python 3.8), which isn’t documented at any step before or on panel.holoviz.org.

I am not sure whether it’s an anaconda problem or a panel problem.

(NB: it works with python 3.7, the solution was adding the conda-forge channel due to this python_abi package)

For what it’s worth, I was running into problems with a conda environment (Python 3.7) created with conda-forge and with unpinned packages. If I remember correctly, the environment was created, but I was experiencing bugs with some Panel widgets. Pinning to bokeh=1.4 fixed the problem. I’ve been sticking with conda-forge and bokeh 1.4, and everything is fine.

This is worrying since it indicates the Panel builds on the PyViz channel are still incorrect. Mind filing this as an issue on Panel?
