how to reuse global site-packages in conda env

I have a project called ABC, I have a conda env just for it in the fold ~/anaconda/envs/ABC, I believe it is a venv, and I want to use some specific packages from the global site packages.

For normal Python installation it can be done be removing the no-global-site-package.txt from the venv folder, or by setting the venv to use global-site-packages, but I didn't find any equivalent approach to do this in Anaconda. The online documentation does not have answer either.

How to do this for Anaconda?

anaconda virtualenv python

In case anyone is coming back to this now, for conda 4.7.12, entering export PYTHONNOUSERSITE=True before the conda activate call successfully isolated the conda environment from global/user site packages for me.

On the other hand, entering export PYTHONNOUSERSITE=0 allows the conda environment to be reintroduced to the global/user site packages.

Note: This is instead of the previously suggested export PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1.
