Assumptionsįor this article, I will use my environment as an example.
Regarding the materials available to learn about Data Science and Machine Learning you need the ability to switch between those Python versions, and that is precisely what I want to cover in this blog post. Python 2.x is the legacy version, and Python 3.x is the present and future of Python, but some of the less disruptive improvements in 3.0 and 3.1 have been backported to 2.6 and 2.7, respectively. Python has two versions actively used, Python 2.x and 3.x. One of the blockers I quickly faced related to my environment. These are not only related to data manipulation and statistic concepts, but they are also connected in terms of what program language is commonly used, which is Python. In fact, in my opinion Data Science could be considered almost a prerequisite for Machine Learning. Last few months I have been delving into Data Science and Machine Learning.īoth fields are related.
