Hi Keith,

astroML is not distributed in the default channels (curated by the
company Anaconda). Please try either to install it using either the
"astropy" or "conda-forge" channels:

conda install -c astropy astroML

Cheers,

No, anaconda only ships a very limited subset of all python packages,
not being included is not a value judgement. Most of those included
are very generic and have a wide user base. As far as I'm aware
astropy is the only astronomy related package that is being included,
and indeed it is used by a wide variety of people even beyond
astronomy.
