Don’t understand the fuss about Python on Windows. WinPython works perfectly and can either be installed in portable or integrated way. Right, can’t install pyjulia but I can’t neither with the Conda version.

[image] ChrisRackauckas: known to fail on the first thing you try” Where did I say it was the first thing I tried? Can use PyPlot with no problems for example.

No it’s the first thing I tried. That’s how “you” works. It works so well that you were able to, off the top of your head with no prompting, point out the thing I just tried and failed with. Such a prophecy of “you’re going to try it but give up when you cannot figure out how to make X work” is not …

Not sure I follow “you”. Are you referring to this error? (base) C:\j>python Python 3.9.7 (default, Sep 16 2021, 16:59:28) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import julia >>> >>> julia.install() Traceback…

I’ve moved these posts to a new thread because whether Python works well enough on Windows or not isn’t really relevant to using it to manage Julia versions. Even if it worked perfectly, it’s too heavy and complex a runtime dependency for that use case.

I think that python with Conda on windows works perfectly fine - or at least as well as conda ever works (i.e., it requires a complete reinstall and exorcism every 6 months). WSL is useful but it is limited and often low-performance and things like GPUs, file accses, etc. are a problem. I think it…

[image] jlperla: Regardless, saying python doesn’t work on windows and everyone just uses WSL is just not true. Every time people lament how difficult using Python on Windows (in my circle mainly for scientific computing) is, I am wondering if they have given the conda-approach a try. Grant…

[image] ChrisRackauckas: Literally even Microsoft recommends using WSL , did they miss something you all know? That specific advice seems to narrowly apply to web applications because they never deploy on windows . Microsoft has a Linux cloud and WSL/etc is a sandbox for developing and testin…

[image] ChrisRackauckas: first comment of this thread says we should instead use WinPython but oh, that fails with pyjulia . As I showed in my comment the failure was with Conda and I added tat it fails with WinPython too and the error is a “File not found” which does not look to come from a …
