How do i properly point rhino to an exisitng Anaconda env?

First. thanks for getting python3 going huge leap forward.

I use Anaconda quite a lot. can i not have rhino use my existing conda environments? meaning i have to double down on recreating those envs into the .rhinocode folder?

I have numpy installed into the .rhinocode env OTB from mcneel and that works to import , I purposely created and anaconda env targeting python 3.9 and installed pandas there. Here is the error i get as well as the code…

#! python3
# env: 'C:\\Users\\<usernameobfuscated>\\anaconda3\\envs\\rhino\\Lib\\site-packages'

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext as sc

import System
import System.Collections.Generic
import Rhino

import numpy
import pandas

def runme():
    print (pandas)
    print (numpy)
    print (rs)

    return 

runme()

when i go to using sys.path for locating pandas, it is found however throws the error. (note i removed the # env part)

here is that code

#! python3


import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import scriptcontext as sc

import System
import System.Collections.Generic
import Rhino

import sys
sys.path.append(r'C:\\Users\\<usernameobfuscated>\\anaconda3\\envs\\rhino\\Lib\\site-packages')

import numpy
import pandas

def runme():
    print (pandas)
    print (numpy)
    print (rs)

    return 

runme()

when i close rhino and use the python.exe provided in the .rhinocode folder i have no issue pathing and working with the libraries in the anaconda env

Is this maybe a bug with the editor? can i tell rhino to use my anaconda env instead at runtimes?
