Which Python to Use?
While Python is the same in different package distributions, out programs
use several visualization packages.
The codes in MatplotLib use the Matplotlib package for visualizations, or in
some cases no visualizations. We have run
them with the Python distribution (both free) Enthought Canopy and with
Anaconda 2's Spyder. RHL has them running best with
Python 2 and Canopy (Spyder's Kernel sometimes has to be restarted to get
the figures).
The codes in Vpython use Vpython graphics. Vpython has recently been
undergoing changes and for us the codes run easiest by pasting them into an
Anaconda 2 Jupyter notebook environment. Note that Vpython may have to be
installed into Anaconda with the command "conda install -c vpython vpython"
or "pip install vpython".
