Re: approachable for novice programmers?

"So how exactly do you install pandas?"

For engineers such as myself, this is one of the biggest headaches with Python. Compared to more engineering-focused ecosystems package and dependency management are a pain in the arse.

However there's also a pretty simple answer that satisfies most use cases.

Step 1: Install anaconda

Step 2: Set up a virtual environment per project

Step 3: Distribute that virtualenv as a docker container

Job done.
