I am using a conda environment to install a package and this package have dependencies that's not available in conda, so I have to use pip to install some additional packages in the conda environment. After I did all these:

I tested both:

pip list

and

conda list

And found that some dependencies occur in pip list but not in conda list. Is this OK? Do the packages installed by pip in conda enviroment also effect in this envorment?

anaconda conda pip python

Yes, I use a combination of pip install and conda install when setting up the environment for a project I'm working on. It works fine.

However, it is documented here that this combination can lead to issues: https://www.anaconda.com/blog/using-pip-in-a-conda-environment

According to that doc, you ought to first use conda to install as many of your packages as possible, then use pip to install the rest afterwards.
