Small issue with Python in 2014/15 — About 90% of the students use Python & they rely on being able to generate plots directly from Python. I remember this year during the practical sessions (Nov & Dec) a couple of students complained that the Python distribution (or set up) had changed, that they had difficulty producing plots and that this set them back a week. A stable Python platform would thus be appreciated.

Dear All,

Attached is the current list of software installed on the UG teaching
machines. We were planning to upgrade python to a newer version (already
installed on most of the machines but not on ones in the teaching area
as we didn't want to change half way through the year).
Is there anything else that we should include? Remember that the plan is
to use these machines as a batch system for projects as well as their
current use. Also remember that we have been adding a few TB of shared
space for projects that require the processing of data.

Thoughts are welcome.

Best,
david
