将Python3.7添加到Anaconda路径

Question

I have anaconda installed on my ubuntu 17.10. It works fine for python 2.7 but I can't use it in python 3.7. Is there a way I can add python3.7 to the anaconda path?

Answer 1

The short answer is no. Anaconda (the company) has not packaged Python 3.7 yet (probably due to it being in beta still). In addition, no other channel (that I'm aware of) has packaged Python 3.7. You can search your configured channels by typing

conda search python=3.7

or you can look online at Anaconda.org: https://anaconda.org/search?q=%22python%22&sort=_name&sort_order=1&reverse=true&page=14

(that search directs you to the page of the results that as of 07-FEB-2018 shows the Python packages that are uploaded to Anaconda.org. The link/relevant page may change in the future as people add or delete packages)

The long answer is that you can build Python 3.7 yourself from source, if you're so inclined. But that is outside the scope of this Q/A.

Answer 2

You can create a Python 3.7 environment via:

$conda create -n Py37 python=3.7

This will create a new anaconda environment named Py37 containing the python=3.7 package.

Afterwards, you can activate the environment by running:

$conda activate Py37

and it should work right out of the box!
