I'm not familiar with that as I have never learned python, but I should be
able to create a package for it. I have numerous friends who do use python.
I'd *really* like to get Octave to compile, but they have borked autotools so
badly it is hopeless unless I write a new Makefile. In the meantime I use
Debian for Octave.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Have Fun!

Dear all,
Planning ahead. It would be nice to compile Anaconda for science
sometime in the future.
