import anaconda packages to IDLE?
You should try starting IDLE with the anaconda interpreter instead. AFAIK it's too primitive an IDE to be configurable which interpreter to use. So if anaconda doesn't ship one, use a different IDE instead, such as PyCharm, PyDev, Eric, Sublime2, Vim, Emacs.
I installed numpy, scipy, matplotlib, etc through Anaconda. I set my PYTHONPATH environment variable to include C://Anaconda; C://Anaconda//Scripts; C://Anaconda//pkgs;.
import sys sys.path shows that IDLE is searching in these Anaconda directories. conda list in the command prompt shows that all the desired packages are installed on Anaconda. But import numpy in IDLE gives me the error No module named numpy.
Suggestions? How do I tell IDLE where to look for modules/packages installed via Anaconda? I feel like I'm missing something obvious but I can't find an answer on any previous Overflow questions.
