Loading a Python module

module avail python

Virtual environment

With each version of python CC provides the virtualenv, Tit allows users to create virtual environments within which you can easily install Python packages.

To create a virtual environment, make sure you have selected a Python version with module load python as shown above in section Loading a Python module. If you expect to use any of the packages listed in section SciPy stack above, also run module load scipy-stack. Then enter the following command, where ENV is the name of the directory for your new environment:

virtualenv --no-download ENV

Once the virtual environment has been created, it must be activated:

source ENV/bin/activate

You should also upgrade pip in the environment:

pip install --no-index --upgrade pip

To exit the virtual environment, simply enter the command deactivate:

deactivate
