Re: [python-uk] RaspberryPi related request for help
Hi Steve, That is in fact what I was planning on doing. I ought to have disclosed that I actually work for Continuum Analytics, though I'd probably be trying this out as just as a personal weekend project. I'll also be trying this on QEMU on OSx https://github.com/psema4/pine/wiki/Installing-QEMU-on-OS-X since my pi is still in the mail. If anyone has any horror stories about trying that to warn me about, please let me know.

Re: [python-uk] RaspberryPi related request for help
Hi Carrie, Would a solution that involves conda http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html, a cross-platform package manager mostly used in the scientific python community be usable by the team, or would installing that be a non-starter? If it would be useful, I can take a crack at it this weekend. -- Andrew On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 12:04 PM, Nicholas H.Tollervey nt...@ntoll.org wrote: Hi, The RaspberryPi Education team (i.e. Carrie Anne - cc'd) is having a problem getting a Python 3 version of smbus to work.
