@jeremycherfas how exactly does something for python 🐍 break Perl? (Presuming your stats script is camel 🐪 based.)

@jeremycherfas My condolences. The connection might very well be that something messed around with paths so that specific libraries would be found first in a path search. Such tricks are common ways for Python developers to set up their environments.

@cn in my (limited) understanding, Anaconda sets up an environment that overrides my original $PATH. More than that I cannot say. I’d love to be able to persuade Anaconda to stop doing that unless asked to.

@fgtech Thanks. That certainly seems correct, though it does seem a little rude.

@jeremycherfas Yes, it’s totally rude to do that without warning. For Python, it’s a workaround that solves other thorny problems. It’s been a while since I’ve had to deal with those but hopefully the migration to Python 3 will smooth out many of those kinks.
