Python Snippets

These Python Snippets are tested with Python 3.5.x. All snippets are available as Jupyter notebooks (http://jupyter.org/).

Get started...

To get started create a virtual environment and install the required packages.

Virtualenv

source py35-ps/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

Conda

The following example shows how to create an environment with "conda" (http://conda.pydata.org/) and Python 3.5 with the required packages.

conda create -n py35-ps python=3.5
