Python Version, Virtual Environments w/in SEEQ Data Lab

[Nate]

Hello,

Note: I am using the learn.seeq.com environment of SEEQ Data Lab.

I see that SEEQ Data Lab uses python version 3.8.8. I have some scripts / packages that work on an earlier version of python.

Is there a way to install a different version of python on SEEQ Data Lab?

         I tried apt-get python3.7.9, but I don't appear to have permissions to do so.

Additionally, it would be nice to setup different virtual environments that may use different packages & python versions.

Is there a way to create a different virtual environment within SEEQ Data Lab?

        I tried creating one with conda, and it gets created. However, SEEQ Data Lab throws an error when attempting to activate it.

Thank you,
Nate

Nate,

At this time there is no way for you to change the python version on Seeq’s learn server.  Your best bet would be to run your scripts locally and use SPy.login to connect to the learn server. The other option would be to convert your scripts to run python 3.8.

Regards,
Teddy

Thanks Teddy,

Can you create & activate different virtual environments within SEEQ Data Lab?

     In this case still have python 3.8, but create different environments with different package versions.

Thank you,
Nate
