sb10q you did, but that was for ARTIQ 8. ARTIQ 7 still has a pip-incompatible version number, and the recent pip update now errors because of that. since pip is not constrained by the ARTIQ 7 package in conda, conda chooses the latest version of pip which causes issues.
interesting enough, I think ARTIQ 7 and the latest pip still install fine with conda in a single environment. though if you then invoke pip in that environment, it errors because of the ARTIQ 7 version number.
anyway, this does not need to be fixed for me, but might be good to know for ARTIQ 7 + conda users. without the extra constraint they might run into issues when invoking pip in their environment.
