Python Stuff

I tend to spend too much time mucking around with Python code - as you can see from the bits of code scattered around this site. So, I've decided to add a page specifically for stuff related to just Python. It'll include snippets of code, interesting applications, algorithms or anything else Python related. Code that is purely there as a means to demonstrate or calculate something specific will remain as it is, in the most relevant post. Most of this stuff will be migrating to my sister pages -

- in the near future.

Sorry if you were hoping to see something on the Pythonidae family of snakes - interesting as they are.

Python - source of scientific .whl files

Filed in: Python python, install wheels, .whl

Just recently installed the latest and greatest Python distribution (3.8) on Windows 10. Not sure if it's related to the newness of the distro, but had a bit of a hard time installing SciPy and Matplotlib using "pip install ..." or "python -m pip install ... ", with errors indicating missing packages.

As you do, I consulted the Google oracle (all hail!) and found a brilliant site (opens in new page) produced by Christoph Gohlke of the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics, University of California, Irvine. This contains numerous 32 and 64 bit Windows binaries of numerous, open-source scientific packages. Download them and install them using "pip install <local .whl package>".

Job Done - thanks Christoph
