Hi Erik, Thanks for the good work!

Anaconda make easy to install some Python packages that require to compile some C or Fortran code.

How hard is to install matplotlib on Cygwin? Or AstroPy? We use Anaconda because most of our learners will have the packages they need on their day job out of the box.
