[Pyzo] Use Miniconda 2.7?

[w***@gmail.com]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to Python. I installed the Pyzo IDE. I then installed Miniconda using the 'Miniconda for Windows (64 bit)' link at http://www.pyzo.org/start.html. However, I quickly realized that I was only able to write in Python 3.0. If I want to write in Python 2.7, how do I go about doing that?

I tried installing Miniconda 2.7 by clicking on the first 'Miniconda' link under 'Step 2' at http://www.pyzo.org/start.html, and then downloading Miniconda for Windows, Python 2.7, 32-bit (exe installer) from that page. However, when I open Pyzo, I get the following message in the shell:

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
ImportError: No module named 'encodings'

Current thread 0x000012fc (most recent call first):

The process failed to start (invalid command?). (3221226505)

Ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Will,

Did you uninstall the old miniconda? Check the menu > shell > shell configurations. The EXE should point to the correct python.exe.

Unless you have specific reasons to use Python 2.7, I strongly recommend Python 3. Python 2.7 will be deprecated in about 3 years.

Almar

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I did uninstall the old Miniconda. But when I went
to Menu > Shell > Shell Configurations as you described, exe was still
pointing to the (nonexistent) old Miniconda3. I selected the new Miniconda2
and things seem to be running smoothly now. Maybe if I restart my computer
the old option will disappear.

Thanks again!

Will
