Python Modules
Python modules have many packages (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, among many others) pre-configured and readily available. If you only need a Python interpreter with these very common libraries and will not be installing heavily customized packages, use a Python module.
Miniconda Modules
Miniconda is a smaller bootstrap version of Anaconda that is optimized for creating an isolated programming environment known as a container. If you need to create and run an entire customized python environment, use a Miniconda module.
