[conda] cant install popular packages

[john McKeague]

I have used anaconda for a week. I tried to install 2 packages using
"conda install" - pyshark and pyparser. Neither will install and both give
an error "PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available
from current channels:"
These packages are available on pypi.org, so I am surprised that anaconda
cannot install them. Are they simply not suported by Anaconda or am I
doing something wrong ?
thanks..

No, not everything that's packaged on pypi is available via conda. In
general the suggestion is to use pip to install packages that aren't
available via conda. If you're feeling up to it, you could also create a
conda package for pyshark (and any dependencies it has that aren't already
packaged) for conda-forge.

Also, do you mean "pyparsing" instead of "pyparser"? The former is a very
popular package that is available via conda.
