PyCall silently rewriting linked (independent) conda environments

[mjohnson541]

I have a conda environment I construct independently of Julia's conda I would like to link PyCall to. This used to work entirely fine. However, now when I define ENV["PYTHON"] and rebuild PyCall, PyCall completely rewrites that environment when linking to it.

Can you provide more detail? How is PyCall "rewriting" the environment?
