This is material for the Python lesson at the 2016-06-29-leeds SWC workshop.
In order to get these files run the following in a shell (pressing return after each line):
cd
cd Desktop
git clone https://github.com/andreww/2016-06-29-python.git
cd 2016-06-29-python
Then start up a jupyter notebook:
jupyter notebook
You should see a web browser start up with a notebook window.
If you already have anaconda and python 2.7 installed you can add python3
as a new environment with the command
conda create -n python3 python=3.5 anaconda. This installs python 3.5
alongside whatever you already have installed.
In order to switch from python 2.7 to python 3.5 you can then run
source activate python3. Anything installed after this point is part of
the "python3" environment.
To drop out of this environemnt and return to your default setup run source deactive. The current environm 5329 ent is local to the particular shell and the command under Windows drops source.
