When installing pydot, conda wants me to have an older version of python. How can I fix this? Will this package not work with my current python version?
conda install pydot
Fetching package metadata .........
Solving package specifications: .
UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
- pydot -> pyparsing 1.5.6 -> python 3.3*
- python 3.5*
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.
python3-pydot is in the default Ubuntu repositories in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu and can be quickly and easily installed without being in conflict with the default system version of Python. Open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install python3-pydot
The default location of dot_parser.py is /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dot_parser.py. The default location of pydot.py is /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pydot.py. You can use symbolic links to tell conda the paths to these files. Put the symbolic links in conda's own lib/python3.5/site-packages directory which for you would be something like: /home/rik/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages if rik is your username.
