Room 101
​
These are the setup instructions for the Introduction to Python tutorial at SciPy 2019. Please visit https://github.com/jiffyclub/scipy-2019-intro-to-python for up-to-date information on the tutorial.
If you don't already have Anaconda installed, download and install Anaconda for Python 3 (not Python 2): https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/.
If you're prompted to install VS Code we recommend you do install it unless you already have a code editor you prefer.
After installing Anaconda you can test your installation using these instructions: http://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/user-guide/getting-started/#write-a-python-program-using-anaconda-prompt-or-terminal

Pre-Tutorial Instructions for RAPIDS: Open GPU Data Science
-
This tutorial will be conducted via Jupyter Notebooks hosted on cloud service provider machines. Exact URLs for the Jupyter Notebooks will be provided on the day of the tutorial, as they are generated when the cloud machines are spun up.
-
Attendees should make sure to use a modern browser, such as a Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Some laptops have security settings that block ports/websockets necessary for accessing cloud-hosted Jupyter Notebooks. To determine whether your laptop has a compatible configuration, please visit https://websocketstest.com . If your results say "WebSockets seem to work for you", you will be able to access the tutorial materials. If WebSockets do not work for you, please consider bringing an alternate laptop or temporarily changing your settings to allow for WebSockets, taking care to comply with any of your IT restrictions if you are using a corporate laptop.
-
Attendees will be required to conduct the tutorial on the cloud Notebooks, even if they have CUDA-compatible GPUs in their laptops.
