python 2 vs python 3

python versions can be tricky

Conda is very good at managing and installing packages and I find having a separate environment for each project very useful.

However, occassionally there can be conflicting python versions in a project environment, in the conda base environment or in your local system that overrides the conda environment python.

pangolin runs on python 3, if you see python 2.7 in any error messages (maybe even embedded in a path somewhere), you'll need to go back and check your python versions within the environment.

Often the most straightforward way to solve issues with python versions is to uninstall/ delete conda and reinstall the latest python 3 version.
