Hi everyone,

I've encountered two serious issues when trying to use Sagemath on Windows:

1) It is incompatible with any package that requires Anaconda for installation (e.g. QuTiP, etc..)

2) It is incompatible with popular commercial-grade Python IDE's (e.g. PyCharm will not recognize the Sage interpreter)

The reason why this is specific to Windows is because, on Mac, Sage can be installed through Anaconda (see anaconda.org/conda-forge/sage for details), thus circumventing the above issues. So everything works like a dream on Mac OS X. Here are my questions:

1) Why is there such a disparity between the Windows and Mac situations?

2) Can we expect Anaconda support anytime soon? Or is it a waste of time refreshing the sagemath section of the conda-forge site from time to time?

If anyone knows how any of these issues might be resolved (possibly by not needing to use Anaconda), please let me know! In any case, if I can't resolve these issues, then I am most likely going to revert to using Mathematica, which is sad, because I like how Sage is designed.
