conda install mingw libpython - conflict

[gruppenzwangimweb20]

hi i would like to install theano on windows. when i follow the instructions on deeplearning.com i receive a package conflict. 

how to reproduce: 

 install a new version of Anaconda3-2.4.0-Windows-x86_64 on a windows 10 machine 

open command prompt and execute: 

conda install mingw libpython

Here is the error:

Error: Unsatisfiable package specifications.

Generating hint:

[      COMPLETE      ]|##################################################| 100%

Hint: the following packages conflict with each other:

  - libpython

  - python 3.5*

Use 'conda info libpython' etc. to see the dependencies for each package.

Note that the following features are enabled:

  - vc14

Thanks!

It would be nice to have support for readline compiled into
anaconda's 'sqlite' package -- it's not there as of the
3.8.4.1 version (the latest, I think).

Thanks!
Steve

P.S. yes, I can always use Ubuntu's sqlite3,
but I like to keep anaconda/bin first in my path. ;)

hello, did you have any chance of figuring a way around it?
i am still trying with the same problem.
I moved on with my work on Ubuntu with Python 2.7, but I would rather get it to work on windows 10 with python 3.5

The libpython package provided with conda is 3.4.

You should generate your own libpython35.a and libvcruntime140.a.

I used (on 32 bit) gendef and dlltools with no flags...
