Add python to install fest? #95

Open gaand opened 8 years ago

gaand commented 8 years ago

See https://gist.github.com/MattB-GA-Boston/4c583031b55a1704b7960fee4928608b, but let's discuss as well.

I'm ok with adding this on the next iteration for WDI 013. We can add it this time, but I'm placing this at a low priority for WDI 012.

It would be good to have more data after python is taught, as well, so please add notes here if they're relevant.

Reference issue #100

jrhorn424 commented 8 years ago
  1. Install pyenv
  2. Install python 3
  3. Install python 2
  4. Use pyenv to set python 2 as the default global python (addresses #100)

Is there a reason you prefer pyenv to virtualenv?

Also, We haven't used python in the last two cohorts. Are these issues outdated?

jrhorn424 commented 7 years ago

pyenv uses shell variables to manage versions using similar commands as to nvm and rbenv. It does not conflict with virtualenv. virtualenv is the auto-switcher. I don't like auto-switchers. Well, that's not true. The only auto-switcher I like is direnv.

I think this is probably closable in favor of #181, whether or not we use python in the future.
