We have made it easy to use Intel Python from Anaconda. We recommend that you create a new environment when installing. To install the core python3 environment, do:
conda create -n idp -c intel intelpython3_core
If you want python 2 do:
conda create -n idp -c intel intelpython2_core
Then follow the directions for activating the environment. Linux/OSX users do:
source activate idp
and windows users do:
activate.bat idp
You now have the core environment, including python, numpy, scipy,... You can use the usual conda install commands for additional packages. For example, to install sympy do:
conda install -c intel --override-channel sympy
Available Intel packages can be viewed here: https://anaconda.org/intel/packages
