EECE 5606 – Python & Phidl references

Python: you can install Python either through the official website or through Anaconda Distribution.
Python is a powerful programming language that allows you to set up different environments in which
you can install specific software packages to enable more advanced functionalities. An environment is
like a “sandbox”, and can be created at your convenience. I personally recommend using Anaconda
since it is more user friendly.

• Anaconda website: https://www.anaconda.com/products/distribution
• Brief Python guide: https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/tutorial

You can execute Python scripts within source-code editors or IDEs (such as Visual Studio Code or
PyCharm). If you are not expert, I’d strongly recommend running it through the browser-based Jupyter

Jupyter should already be installed if you installed Anaconda and can be run through the Anaconda
Powershell Prompt (Windows) or through the terminal (Mac) by prompting:

You should see a window like this opening in your browser:

Go to new > notebook and start coding!
