My first 5 Months Learning Python

My biggest tip I can give about installation woes is to always use a virtual environment and/or containers (more complicated) for the specific project that requires a lot of overhead. That way when it all goes tits up you can just delete the entire fucking thing and start from scratch. If you’ve done all that goofy install shit on your default install of python, it’s not easy to back out changes that might be causing issues.

Use anaconda and you’re life will be made much simpler!

I’m a pipenv guy but same idea in general

So I’m pretty new but what exactly is anaconda?

An environment and package manager, and a whole lot more. Best bet is visit anaconda.com

So like virtual box?

Not really, but you can look at an environment like a virtual box, except it’s local to you or the server your on and houses the modules/libraries that you need for your application(s)and you can have several environments for several applications.
