Hi Mauricio—

Thanks for that valuable information! The procedure described in the referred 
answer is quite surgical in nature. Which means that it has a lot of potential 
pitfalls for novice users. I wonder if (1) other instructors have noted problem 
with spaces in user names in Windows, and (2) if there is a simpler mitigation 
plan for this issue.

I was thinking a naïve workaround, which is to create a separate user name with 
no whitespace characters. The drawback is that then the user will have problem 
with using the setup for the real work, where files reside on the other user 
profile.

Hi all,
I am about to hold a software carpentry event, and in the course of helping 
users install their software, I found warning with Anaconda install. The 
culprit was white space in the user name .. something too common on Windows 
systems. Anyone have comment or workaround on this issue? Will the whitespace 
cause problems with UNIX shell and Python hands-ons?
