[python-uk] RaspberryPi related request for help

[Andrew Farrell]

Hi Carrie,

Would a solution that involves conda
<http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html>, a cross-platform package manager
mostly used in the scientific python community be usable by the team, or
would installing that be a non-starter?
If it would be useful, I can take a crack at it this weekend.
