> The Conda package system packages both Python packages and C shared libraries and the Python interpreter into Conda packages.

This doesn't sound correct. Conda packages don't actually include the entire Python interpreter in them right?

A prerequisite to installing Conda packages is to have Anaconda/Miniconda installed which brings in the Python interpreter and a given set of packages depending on the version you install but that doesn't mean that each Conda package will be carrying the interpreter with it.
