Noam,

To carry out the Python sessions, everything you need is included in the
Anaconda Python distribution. If you have the install packages for all OS
saved on a USB stick, your Python, Jupyter, and major packages are all
included, https://www.continuum.io/downloads

As has come up in other discussions, I hesitate to use VM images or other
fully automated set ups, since to me half the battle is helping people get
set up and comfortable using their own hardware--so that when they leave,
they can continue learning and using what they learned.

best, Evan
