for many packages, it uses your compiler, which could be incompatible - this is where your compiler errors are coming from.

it does not support multiple versions of same package installed - that’s why you can’t have to projects using different versions of same package!.

The difference is that pip does just that and nothing else! It downloads and installs packages you want to use. Pip (recursive “pip Installs Packages”) is a Python package installer. I can guarantee it does not have to be like that!Īfter you read what pip and conda do and how they work, you won’t be breaking your environment again.

Everybody is mix and matching words pip, conda and install until it starts working! And it usually works, until it breaks your environment completely.Īnd you do not know why it broke so you remove and install all packages from scratch. I thought we’re using just python?!”.Īnd I did not know what to answer. “Is conda just python with preinstalled packages?”. People often ask me “Should I use conda or pip to install packages?”.

Turns out that this problem does not occur if you select version 3.3 instead of 3.3.0 together with answer conda create -n 'myenv' python=3.3 ipythonĮverything works fine and python as well as ipython result to version python 3.3.5.One of the first things I’ve noticed while coming into Machine Learning Engineer role was package management mess. Is it possible to access with the commands python and ipython both python version 3.3.0 in that specific environment, i.e. However, while this works fine for python here I get the error message /home/myname/miniconda3/envs/myenv/bin/python3: No module named IPython conda install python=3.3.0Ī solution would be to open IPython via python3 -m IPython However, ipython3 has python version 3.6.8 again. I can access the correct python with python3 which is at /home/myname/miniconda3/envs/myenv/bin/python3 Python has version 2.7.15 and path /usr/bin/pythonĪnd ipython has python version 3.6.8 and path /home/myname/.local/bin/ipython However when I activate the environment via conda activate myenv I have miniconda3 installed and since I would like to have an environment with python version 3.3.0, I create it via conda create -n 'myenv' python=3.3.0
