Python Modules For Mac
MacPython: This is python.org's installer of the latest Python framework build, along with some Mac-specific apps to help use it, like IDLE.app. This is the default recommendation of the MacPython community. See the Python download page for the Mac for instructions on how to download the installer and run it.
Python on a Macintosh running Mac OS X is in principle very similar to Python on any other Unix platform, but there are a number of additional features such as the IDE and the Package Manager that are worth pointing out. The Mac-specific modules are documented in Mac OS X specific services. MacPython Modules. 2.1 mac- Implementations for the os module; 2.2 macpath- MacOS path manipulation functions; 2.3 macfs- Various file system services. 2.3.1 FSSpec Objects; 2.3.2 Alias. What are modules in Python? Modules refer to a file containing Python statements and definitions. A file containing Python code, for example: example.py, is called a module, and its module name would be example. We use modules to break down large programs into small manageable and organized files.
Python Libraries For Machine Learning And Data Science
ActivePython: An up-to-date, commercial and free (as in beer) distribution of Python. ActivePython installers for a large number of platforms (including Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 and greater, PowerPC and Intel) are available. Note that ActivePython does not include readline support, but it can be added.
Apple: Mac OS X comes with a pre-installation of Python, usually one or two years old. This can be sufficient for some needs, but the MacPython community recommends installing a newer, more capable, version. Don't get rid of the Apple version, though! It's used by some system utilities.
Fink.: a project that packages up many open-source projects in a Debian-like system of installers with explicit dependencies. A version of Python can be installed with Fink, but it's not recommended by some people in the MacPython community, mainly because too many prerequisite packages have to be installed for Python, and some of them seem to conflict with system packages.
Python Modules For Machine Learning
MacPorts: Another project bundling open-source software for Mac OS X and Darwin is called MacPorts. Again, Python can be installed with this software, but it isn't recommended by some people in the MacPython community, mainly because it's complicated and involves installing prerequisite packages. On the other hand, MacPorts probably has the by far largest amount of ready-to-run python modules available, all installable via a simple command. The project was previously known as DarwinPorts.
Homebrew.: yet another project that packages Python and many other projects for Mac OS X.
