This is great @RobertLucian, thanks for adding this! It looks good to me, and I've added @vishalbollu as a reviewer since he has been more involved with this part of the code, and he can go ahead and merge if it looks good to him |

@deliahu just tested this with the latest and it works. It's a go from me. |

Closes #1051.
When
conda-packages.txtis used to update Python to a different version (major.minorversion), all packages that were previously installed on the image will no longer be accessible. This is not because they are removed, but because they reside in a different folder named after the Python's version.Since most packages are built for each
major.minorversion of Python, it's just better to reinstall them if a change of version is detected. This is something that should definitely not be encouraged, because it may very well break the web server. The web server is currently running on Python 3.6.9. By moving it to a different version, its stability cannot be guaranteed.checklist:
