Make ALE select the correct anaconda environment for linting

[AnkushMalaker]

I use anaconda as my package manager mainly for creating python projects. Once I have activated an environment using "conda activate <env_name>" and I launch nvim, I'd expect that ALE and pylint select the environment activated to do the diagnostics. I use coc.nvim along with ALE, and have done the configuration by adding "diagnostic.displayByAle": true in my coc-configuration.json and adding let g:ale_disable_lsp = 1 to my init.vim (using nvim).
The desired behavior is not happening and ALE defaults to my default python environment. Since I'm using conda instead of pipenv, there isnt a $VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable that I can set, as mentioned in some other issues on this repository.

Can someone help with this? Thanks a lot.
