Why not install anaconda and finish it off! It is recommended by most of the DataScientist and ML experts.

Installing that monstrously-sized 480MB package is going to be a waste for the purpose of this KS where just 2 libraries are going to be elaborated upon. The miniconda system should be ideal as you can install packages at your discretion.

I'd like to suggest we use Python 3+ as both matplotlib and numpy are supported on it, and most of the world including the Data Science community is shifting towards it.

@shubhamjangid , @kunparekh18 , I will be giving instructions to install anaconda when we meet, and we will install the python3 version of anaconda.

codexetreme commented 7 years ago

also as @kunparekh18 pointed out the package is huge, so we will be distributing copies.

[OFF TOPIC] Just a small idea, I believe, for the people who are beginning with coding in Python for Data Science; using WinPython would be much much better than using Anaconda. WinPython gives you a separate folder with all the tools (including Ipython console and Spyder), you code inside that folder. And, in case you screw up something while installing some dubious package, you can always delete the contents of the folder (leaving behind the code) and re-install it; it will be good as new :bowtie: .
