I'll pay anyone who can assist me with my Python setup. Is there a service like this, where one can find a developer on demand?

I have been using a consistent setup that hasn't yet failed me for the past 2 years.

1. Install Anaconda to your home user directory .

2. create environment using (conda create --name myenv python=3.6) .

3. Switch to the environment using (conda activate myenv) .

4. Use (conda install mypackage), (pip install mypackage) in that priority order .

5. Export environment using (conda env export > conda_env.yaml) .

6. Environment can be created on an other system using (conda env create -f conda_env.yaml) .

Anaconda: https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#download-section .

Dockerized Anaconda: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/docker/ .

I can vouch for this. Anaconda is especially good for simulation/data stuff (based on the focus on which packages are included by default).

One pain point though: getting it to work with Sublime Text 3 requires you to set the `CONDA_DLL_SEARCH_MODIFICATION_ENABLE` environment variable to `1` on Windows.

Not a flaw of Anaconda: it just pays attention to how to with multiple Python installations on Windows.

Hi kovek! You might like https://www.codementor.io/ . I admit I'm a mentor there, and I've made about twenty bucks helping people, but anyway it was super fun helping poeple. :)
