Today I tried to do this on my 13-inch MacBook Pro (M1, 2020).
conda create -n py2 python=2.7 -y
And I continue getting this error.
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with repodata from current_repodata.json,

I can create environments with Python 3 versions without a problem though; say, Python 3.7, 3.8, or 3.9.
conda create -n py2 python=3.9 -y
