Anybody else find it hilarious that years ago back when I and others were still using Python 2 we got told off constantly but cutting edge libraries *cough* https://github.com/facebookresearch/deepcluster … *cough* can deadass require Python 2.7? So much to unpack here.

Good points. I’m pretty lazy so there’s that! So what is recommended? I thought Anaconda was fine. It was just a pain to learn 2 and 3 at the same time. The differences are subtle but for a Python newbie it was annoying
-
Absolutely. Especially ~3-10 years ago when lots of teaching material was still py2 and lots of important packages hadn't ported yet. New code *still* using py2 doesn't. Help. With rare exception there's no reason to use but the latest version (3.7) and anaconda is still decent

Something a lot of beginners with it get tripped up on is just path issues mostly. When you install Anaconda it gives you the option to add it to your PATH, and it actually edits your .profile to do so.

I see a lot of Mac users get confused by this bc they often have multiple Python installations on their systems (the one included on the OS which is all but unusable, Anaconda, often Homebrew). So it helps to be clear about it. If you have Homebrew already it works well too

Yeah that was tricky but I figured it out eventually! Thanks for the tips!!
