Hi folks, In setting up for a Python Ecology workshop next week, one user reported the ggplot python package not installing. I've raised an issue against the lesson here: https://github.com/datacarpentry/python-ecology-lesson/issues/164 Error pasted here for mailing list searchability:
$ conda install -c conda-forge ggplot Fetching package metadata ............. Solving package specifications: . UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict: - ggplot -> python 3.4* - python 3.6* Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package. It looks like ggplot does not support python 3.6 which is bundled with the current Anaconda installer. What would be a sane workaround for this? Using `pip` to install ggplot doesn't always work because its matplotlib dependency requires PyQt4 which does not seem to be trivial to setup for all platforms. Some ideas I'm thinking of are: 1) Using the python 2.7 version of Anaconda for now and adapting lessons with future imports if necessary. 2) Using an older version of Anaconda that installs e.g. python 3.4 packages (where does one find them?) 3) Setting matplotlib backend to use e.g. wx instead of PyQt4, but I don't have the resources to validate this on all platforms. 4) It looks like now python abstracts the Qt version via QtPy module, so it may be difficult to install Qt4 in addition to the Anaconda bundled Qt5. For points 3 and 4 maybe the Continuum developers have some ideas? Actually I don't know if I'm interpreting the error message correctly.
