AHPCC maintains a number of Python versions, some Anaconda, Intel/Anaconda, and compiled from source.
Intel Python is a version of Anaconda optimized for speed and is a good choice for general Python code that doesn't need a great number of Python modules. Recommended environment modules are python/2.7.16-intel and 3.6.8-intel.
Anaconda Python is what we recommend for most purposes as it has wide compatibility with Python modules. Recommended environment modules are python/2.7.16-anaconda and 3.7.3-anaconda.
Python from source will sometimes install Python modules that won't install in Anaconda. Recommended environment modules are python/2.7.15b and 3.6.0
