>> Why would a newbie or someone who just wants to get analytical work done need anything beyond installing Python and doing `pip install library`? It's certainly orders of magnitude easier and faster than, say, using a C library. Except when it isn't. For instance, because some wheel fails to build because you're lacking the VC++ redistributable (or it's not where pip thinks it should be): C:\Users\YeGoblynQueenne\Documents\Python> pip install -U spacy

Now that's newbie scary.Note that this is just one case where I was trying to install one particular package. I got a couple more examples like this in my installation diary, notably one when I tried to install matplotlib, this time on Windows Subystem for Linux, a.k.a. Ubuntu, and hit a conda bug that meant I had to use an older version of QT until upstream fixed it and other fun times like that. |
