conda package installs into python3.1/site-packages

[asottile]

I don't know if the bug is for this, but it's somehow breaking pre-commit's tests for conda.

I'm installing python-tzdata there and then importing the tzdata module and getting an import error:

I admittedly don't know much about conda -- I believe the environment is created from this environment.yml and then it runs conda install python-tzdata:

channels:
  - conda-forge
  - defaults
dependencies:
  # This cannot be empty as otherwise no environment will be created.
  # We're using openssl here as it is available on all system and will
  # most likely be always installed anyways.
  # See https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/9487
  - openssl

I'm thinking this is a conda bug and not specific to tzdata -- but I also don't know enough about the conda ecosystem to pinpoint the problem

yep, it appears to be this conda issue: conda/conda#10969
