The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How to Create Virtual Environments in Python
Python's venv module is officially recommended for creating virtual environments since Python 3.5 comes packaged with your Python installation. While there still are additional older tools available, such as conda and virtualenv, if you are new to virtual environments, it is best to use venv now.

PSA: conda-libmamba-solver can cut two hours off of your Anaconda install, but has only 47 GitHub stars. It deserves more praise.
conda's dependency solver solves a harder problem than pip's. This quote alludes to it "Conda will never be as fast as pip, so long as we're doing real environment solves and pip satisfies itself only for the current operation." (from https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7239). Thus mamba was created to improve performance and now conda is bringing in that performance boost.

How to get the best Conda environment experience in Codespaces
The other challenge I ran into sometimes was that if I was running a lower memory/storage Codespace instance, when I tried to use Conda from the command line to modify environments, the process would be killed after a few seconds. This turns out to be related to some performance issues Conda has that make it consume a lot of memory when trying to work with the conda-forge installation channel. You can always then just increase the size of the Codespace your are working with (just go to your Codespaces list and use the triple dots to change the settings for a Codespace).

What is the status of Python 3.11?
It's worth noting that [ana]conda isn't even fully compatible yet with 3.11 (you can use it to create 3.11 environments--and you really should rather than waiting on relying on the system python--but conda itself can only run on 3.10.
