Python 3.x on Canopy Express - enthought

Are there any issues with installing Python 3.3 after installing Canopy Express (which has Python 2.7)? I recently installed Canopy to take advantage of the packages it bundles. I see that it has uses version 2.7 of python, but I would very much like to use the latest and greatest version of Python as I am new to python and just learning it. However I would like to make sure that installing Python 3.3 doesn't break any of the features of Canopy.

You can install Python 3 in parallel to Canopy, but you will not be able to run Canopy on Python 3.

Advantages of having applications from Anaconda or independent (and the latest)

Can someone can explain and advise whether and why one should install and use applications such as Orange or RStudio or VS Code from Anaconda vs. download and install directly/independently (as stand-alone apps)? At a minimum, what I see (as I am using RStudio and VS Code) current stable versions on the internet are (much) newer.
I am using:
conda version : 4.8.1
conda-build version : 3.18.9
python version : 3.7.4.final.0
platform : osx-64
Anaconda pre-installed a lot of packages for you, so you don't have to install them manually. Anaconda create an environment in VSCode, so when you need to use these packages, you have to start VSCode from Anaconda, or switch to conda environment.
On the other hand, when using VSCode independently, you have to install packages yourself.

Having proplem with Python 3.5 after installing Python 3.7

I had Python 3.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 and then I installed Python 3.7 and made it the default Python.
Now most of the programs I run go Python 3.7 but some run on 3.5 (I don't know why).
Also, the system says that there is a problem with python 3.5 but I can't figure what it is.
Can anyone help?
Thank You
Configure PYTHON_PATH pointing proper library path or set path environment variable pointing to correct Python version.

Install psycopg2 on Windows 8.1

I want to install psycopg2 on Windows 8.1 x64 computer and I'm using python 2.7.6 from python.org. As I launch the installer as administrator, I got this error,
I press confirm and next button, but I can't choose or type my python directory.
I have seen this post after I got those problem, Psycopg installation on windows, but it seems that that is a different case as mine.
How to successfully install psycopg2 on Windows 8.1 x64 computer?
Install the binary distribution of psycopg2 for the same architecture as your Python version.
Your Psycopg2 architecture must match the architecture of the Python binary you installed. So if you have a 32-bit Python 2.7 you must get the 32-bit psycopg2; if you have the 64-bit Python 2.7, you must get the 64-bit pycopg2.
This applies to any Python module that contains binary modules, not just psycopg2.

Satchmo install on a mac using virtualenv

I have virtualenv set up and working correctly on my mac os (leopard) running python 2.6 & django 1.2.3. I want to install Satchmo but I haven't found solid instructions for a mac install using virtualenv. Can anyone help regarding this? thanks.
If you're using buildout with virtualenv then try this: https://github.com/shywolf9982/satchmo-buildout
Of course installing newest XCode ie. 3.1 or 3.2 is a must..
Unfortunatelly compiniling stuff on Mac can give you the creeps... My collegue and I, were fighting 12h with installation of geodjango on Spatialite database, and we didn't make it after all :)
If you're not using buildout then just use macports for installing modules listed in above repo's buildout.cfg file.
Good luck!
This Satchmo Project post contains the instructions I follow on Snow Leopard. I use Homebrew and/or MacPorts in lieu of the Debian package tools.
