Python Install Instructions

Anaconda ipython installation (2.x+3.x)*(Linux+Windows)

All your potential previous python setups will stay uninterfered! All common python modules are

included. You can add exotic modules by conda install command.

 http://continuum.io/downloads → install (Anaconda ipython 2.7)

 create a switch between python 2.7 python 3.5 (linux+windows):

$> conda create -n py3k python=3 anaconda

 test 2.7 and install one fancy module Xoxoxo:

$> conda install XoXoXo

 test 3.4 and install the same fancy module there too (most modules have both versions!):

$> source activate py3k

$> conda install XoXoXo (python 3 tarvitsee omat versionsa monista modulleista)

$> ipython  python 3.4 (*)

ipython> import XoXoXo -> OK!

$> source deactivate --> python 2 again (*)

 update: after you choose the environment you want

$> conda update conda (needed sometimes)

$> conda update anaconda (smoke a cigarette meanwhile, play Nintendo or such…)
