Based on the feedback provided here, as well as input from other places, here is my solution: 0. Commit to Python 3 1. Choose a distribution, and for better or for worse, I choose Anaconda 2. Install distribution 3. Make sure distribution is in my PATH 4. Prefix scripts with #!/usr/bin/env python 5. Write software using Python 3 This way I can install libraries, modules, etc. using conda and not mess up my operating system’s version of Python. Thank you, and now my kewl HathiTrust distribution works locally to boot. — Eric M.
