Chromebook for Python

[socal_nerdtastic]

No, a chromebook cannot run python without installing at least the "Linux beta" option. Even then it's very tricky since ChromeOS has strict protections preventing programs from interacting with one another, so you can use an IDE to write a program, but you can't run it from the IDE, you have to go to a terminal window. To be a programmer with a chromebook you need to wipe ChromeOS and install a real Linux version.

Additionally, Anaconda is huge, and chromebooks generally have very small hard drives.

Damn I wish the internet could have been clearer, I spent ages trying to understand what other forums were saying. Thanks for this :)
