I presume the regular Python you get from python.org

Anaconda is like closed eco-system, i.e. distribution with its own python interpreter, packages, package management system, etc.
and OS Python, I think refer to pure Python distribution installed system-wide - e.g. on Windows - downloaded from https://www.python.org/downloads/
Thanks. I've used Anaconda for some data science stuff but wasn't sure what this meant as I didn't remember it having its own OS and Python stack.
I thought maybe there was a linux distro called OS Python for a moment, with obvious purpose. I tend to do most development in VMs or, more often these days, in containers, rather than "corrupt" my local environment.
My base computer is a MacBook Pro, which of course comes with [an old version of] Python pre-installed.

Let you install and switch between versions easy,and it's safe don't mess with OS python local environment.
Example run:
mint@mint ~ $ pyenv install 3.6.2 Downloading Python-3.6.2.tar.xz... -> https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.2/Python-3.6.2.tar.xz Installing Python-3.6.2... Installed Python-3.6.2 to /home/mint/.pyenv/versions/3.6.2 # Make python and pip default to 3.6.2 mint@mint ~ $ pyenv global 3.6.2 # Check what's available mint@mint ~ $ pyenv install --list # Install the version you desire mint@mint ~ $ pyenv install anaconda-x.x.x # If just want test out Anaconda is a shell session. pyenv shell anaconda-x.x.x # Can always go back to system default mint@mint ~ $ pyenv local system mint@mint ~ $ python Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 19 2016, 06:48:10) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> mint@mint ~ $ python3 Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 17 2016, 17:05:23) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>

I see the benefit, but most projects I've been involved in over the last couple of years, I've found the dev teams prefer either vagrant, or, increasingly, containers and the latter especially so in devops teams.

If you're talking about my class, not that I'm aware of.
