> Horrible set up
For the purposes of teaching, there’s very few reasons to go beyond the standard library (‘Requests’ is why I qualify this). Restricting yourself to that means that python is, most times, already set up for you. It only gets confusing when you start to use shared libraries.
- sixhobbits 6y agoThis is not true on Windows and in general even for beginners I would not recommend the default install of Python on mac.
- falcolas 6y agoWSL gives you Python 3 with an apt install, and homebrew can replace the default 2.7 with Python 3. Using Python on Windows without WSL is a bit harder, but it's really just a package install and explicit `python file.py` call in a command window. I don't believe that any of these are onerous enough to justify calling them "Horrible [to] set up".
