installing python visual for anaconda

[João Abrantes]

Following the sites rules I should do:

conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/mwcraig vpython

but I'm getting this error:

Error:  Package missing in current linux-64 channels:
  - vpython


Did you mean one of these?


    python, ipython, wxpython


You can search for this package on anaconda.org with


    anaconda search -t conda vpython

Hi,

Unfortunately,I was never able to build that vpython in Linux. The problem, of I remember right, was done of the dependencies rather than vpython itself.

The newer vpython-jupyter works in Linux, installable with either

pip install vpython

Or

conda install -c vpython vpython

(Yes, vpython is repeated in the second case....One is the channel name, the other is the package name.

If you use ubuntu I build it. But then If you install vpython jupyter it breaks wxpython. But as I use jupyter-vpython I have no problems. But I think it's not a good thing to install wxpython as it wo'nt be developed anymore.

Note that the statement

conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/mwcraig vpython

is mentioned at vpython.org only in the context of Windows and Macintosh, not Linux.
