Currently I have one version of Python installed, v. 3.4.4. My OS is W7-64bit. I use Vim 7.4 for my editing. Two of the textbooks I have started will use several Python scientific computing packages. Anaconda seems the way to go to get them all (plus others) in one fell swoop. Questions:
1) At this time I have no need for multiple versions of Python on my home PC. Would it be advisable for me to uninstall my existing v. 3.4.4 as the Anaconda distribution I am looking at uses v. 3.5? 2) Will installing Anaconda cause any problems with my existing Vim 7.4 installation? At this stage of my learning, I have not installed any Python-related plugins in Vim. However, I do value the existing syntax highlighting Vim does for Python out of the box. Will I need to reinstall Vim after installing Anaconda for Vim to be able to find Python? 3) Is there anything else I need to be aware of regarding Anaconda? 4) I have only tonight started looking into this. My initial impression is that updates and new Python package installations are done in Anaconda with a "conda" command. Does this mean that pip installations can no longer be done? TIA!
