I was successfully able to reinstall Anaconda for 2.7 without conflicting with my ArcGIS 10.5 installation. I can now import arcpy, pandas, numpy, etc... but I am missing a few outside packages that I had installed in the for my ArcGIS 2.7 environment. For example, the library 'addfips' could not be added using conda. I believe I added it previously using `pip` which is already installed in my Anaconda environment. Is there any conflict that could be caused by using fips with my Anaconda environment? Just wanted to check before trying.
chances are slim that it would cause issues given...
AddFIPS is a Python package, compatible with Python 2.7, Python 3, and pypy. It has no dependencies outside of Python’s standard libraries.
