============== Sample recipes ============== Conda offers you the flexibility of being able to build things that are not Python related. The first 2 sample recipes, ``boost`` and ``libtiff``, are examples of non-Python libraries, meaning they do not require Python to run or build. * `boost `_ is an example of a popular programming library and illustrates the use of selectors in a recipe. * `libtiff `_ is another example of a compiled library, which shows how conda can apply patches to source directories before building the package. * `msgpack `_, `blosc `_, and `cytoolz `_ are examples of Python libraries with extensions. * `toolz `_, `sympy `_, `six `_, and `gensim `_ are examples of Python-only libraries. ``gensim`` works on Python 2, and all of the others work on both Python 2 and Python 3.
