Investigate / Implement Anaconda/Conda packaging of Mu

[ntoll]

The conda command/suite of packaging tools appears to be a popular way to distribute software in a cross-platform manner. We've already had people asking about it in the developer chat via Gitter. We should look into it and automate something so you need only conda install mu-editor for it to just work.

Note: conda appears to be popular among academic / educational institutions in North America.

Good to know.

I'll second cooknl's comment on gov use. Anaconda is an easy way to get a bunch of libraries installed behind machines with painful proxies and firewalls.

While it's a bit large, I often install it on student machines that come along to our CoderDojo sessions, as it puts off the discussion about package management and so on for a little bit. As important as that is, I don't think it helps with engagement for what may be their first 2 hour session coding related session ever.
