To see a list of installed versions of Python on the cluster, use Lmod\u2019s spider command:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/scpublic.dmz.hpc.mssm.edu\/HPC\/python\/python_modules.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”Python Modules Image” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” max_width=”60%”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Usage” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#221f72″ header_font_size=”26px” header_2_text_color=”#221f72″ header_2_font_size=”24px”]<\/p>\n Python may be run either interactively, or as a batch process reading commands from a script file. To run Python interactively, open an interactive session by submitting a job to the interactive LSF queue. Then simply execute the Python command. After the terminal is launched in the interactive mode, users can run Python commands at the prompt:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/scpublic.dmz.hpc.mssm.edu\/HPC\/python\/python_usage.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”Python Usage Image” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” max_width=”60%”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Install Packages Locally” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#221f72″ header_font_size=”26px” header_2_text_color=”#221f72″ header_2_font_size=”24px”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are multiple ways to install and manage Python packages locally.

Please be familiar with official Conda user guide<\/a> and our documentation<\/a> for more information about using anaconda.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/scpublic.dmz.hpc.mssm.edu\/HPC\/python\/anaconda3.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”Anaconda3 Image” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”60%” max_width=”60%” custom_margin=”10px||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”10px||20px||false|false”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Venv” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#221f72″ header_font_size=”26px” header_2_text_color=”#221f72″ header_2_font_size=”24px”]<\/p>\n venv<\/a>allows you to manage separate package installations for different projects. They essentially allow you to create a \u201cvirtual\u201d isolated Python installation and install packages into that virtual installation. When you switch projects, you can simply create a new virtual environment and not have to worry about breaking the packages installed in the other environments. It is always recommended to use a virtual environment while developing Python applications.<\/p>\n Python will need to be loaded in module before using venv:<\/p>\n Creation of virtual environments is done by executing the command venv:<\/p>\n venv will create a virtual Python installation in the \u201c\/path\/to\/new\/virtual\/env\u201d folder. Activating a virtual environment will put the virtual environment-specific python and pip executables into your shell\u2019s PATH. It should be in the env directory:<\/p>\n The name of the virtual environment will also show in front of your username in the prompt:<\/p>\n As long as your virtual environment is activated, you can use pip for package installation and pip will install packages into that specific environment by default. You\u2019ll also be able to import and use packages in your Python application. If you want to re-enter the virtual environment just follow the same instructions above about activating a virtual environment. There\u2019s no need to re-create the virtual environment.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Pip” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#221f72″ header_font_size=”26px” header_2_text_color=”#221f72″ header_2_font_size=”24px” custom_padding=”10px||||false|false”]<\/p>\n Pip is the package installer for Python<\/a>.
