title: Does conda env export use pip?
body: <p>I successfully created a Conda environment at path <code>./xxxxx/conda_env/xyz</code>. I am also able to activate that environment.</p>
  
  <p>However, <code>conda env export -p /xxxxx/conda_env/xyz</code> fails (I have the same environment activated), giving error</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
