Using numpy via miniconda

[almarklein]

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for this! I used your example to set up Appveyor for imageio.

I need numpy to run the test suite, so I made some changes to use miniconda and install numpy into it. The current code had a python_version -qt '3.4' in there, but the Python version was '3.4.4'. So it always used Python 2.7. Further I had to change the Paths (c:\python2.7`), because some of them already exist and miniconda won't get installed.

Glad you found this useful.

I don't understand your comment about python_version -qt '3.4', can you be more specific?

[almarklein]

Sorry, I meant the if ($python_version -eq "3.4") here: https://github.com/ogrisel/python-appveyor-demo/blob/master/appveyor/install.ps1#L99 Which never gets triggered because in appveyor.yml it says PYTHON_VERSION: "3.4.1"

I suppose it does not matter for your demo since it uses the Python MSI's, but it does when one uses miniconda :)

Indeed I get it, that has changed and I did not retest the miniconda method in the mean time. I don't have anypowershell at hand to test, do you know a conditional expression that would work?

[almarklein]

Hehe, I am not familiar with powershell, so I just ditched the last character in the definition of PYTHON_VERSION in appveyor.yml. I suppose that would make my repo incompatible with Python's MSI's.

This was not so much a "please fix this", but more of a "if you want to use miniconda, here's a working example".
