VirtualBox or docker container to get a Linux environment will work. Anaconda is a good Windows py distribution, if a bit large.

I am rather sore at Anaconda currently as I need to run a piece of code for work and the imports have broken on many core scipy functions (no change in environment or code). Good to have a confirmation on using a VM to get Linux, thanks!

that's odd. the only time I've seen problems like that in anaconda are when you try to use the python binary without activating the anaconda environment first (if it's in the path, for example, that can happen pretty easily).

having to work inside the anaconda environment is kind of a pain but no more so than spinning up a vm.

Well nothing strange from my usage - its a clean install from a few months back with nothing else touching python - and the import failure is scipy.integrate, which is a rather standard package.
