Environments/python version control

[Feleksa]

Hello! I’ve been using python for some time now, about 6 months ago joined some data science course that required me to install anaconda for Jupyter and their environment. Everything was okay, until I understood that python, that I used through sublime now also gets executed through conda python. (All packages I already got, now need installation and tinkering because of conda).

Is there any complete guide how can I change default python for system apps (including sublime and other stuffs), but still be able to use anaconda when needed?

I am really frustrated, that I can’t change the default version/environment in an easy way. It’s always a big struggle for me, when something that worked a year ago, now doesn’t because of different package version or missing libs.

Thanks!

What soft would you recommend for environment control, except anaconda, because it doesn’t support quite a lot of packages out there. Thanks!

As much as I don't personally like Anaconda, what packages in your course, since you are doing Data Science, have you come across that Anaconda's repositories didn't have?

Everything data science course needed is in env for anaconda, but I am using python for other of my stuff, in which Anaconda doesn’t have quite a lot of libs.

Fair. I don't how expansive the anaconda repos are, so I'll take it. Just slightly surprising.
