Hi,



Though you can install both versions and manage them using virtualenv feature of Anaconda, EPAT will specifically use python 3. Here is a  link to help you manage two environments:

oh yeah… by the end of the python primer, the information says that the python that will be used to open the downloadable data is the 2.7 version… isn’t it supposed to be 3.x version?

The Python primer is created with Python version 2.x and rest of the course in the EPAT will be covered with Python version 3.x. We do have plans to migrate the primer to Python 3.x. Meanwhile, you can refer to the Python manual to understand the different package versions and the codes for the different versions.
