Getting error while installing Scipy using pip3 for 64 bit version of Python ? Here's the solution!

By
As you know Scipy is one of the most used modules by the Python programmers for Data science and Machine Learning.

So if you have ever try to install Scipy using pip3 (3 for Python 3!), you will get an error like this.

As you can see, to install Scipy , simple pip3 install scipy  will not work.

To install Scipy, you have to go to Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages link.

Then you have to find for Scipy. If you are using Chrome, you can use cntrl + F to search for scipy.

I m using python 3.5 (64-bit) so I have downloaded this package.

 Make sure to install numpy before scipy otherwise this method wont work.

To install numpy, simple pip3 install numpy won't work.

You have to download numpy + mkl from the same link and download it, then install it using pip.

To install numpy and scipy wheel file you have to use pip  install  <path of the wheel file>

Scipy installation using whl file

As you can see,pip has successfully installed Scipy.

Hope this helps :)

Python 2 vs Python 3 Pystone benchmarking test!

By
When Python 3 came out, It was slower than Python 2. As Python's official blog says Python 3 is 10% slower than Python 2. So it means Python 2 is faster than python 3 by some margin. In this Benchmarking, we will use Pystone benchmarks to compare Python 2 and Python 3. My system specification is listed below: CPU = Intel core i3 2100 @ 3.10 GHZ GPU = Nvidia Geforce 210 RAM = 2 GB OS = Windows 10 Pro The benchmarking results may vary upon your system specification. Here's the result. python 3 pystone benchmarks python 2 pystone benchmarks As you can see python 2 has 24% higher benchmarks than python 3 which is pretty impressive. Maybe this is one of the reasons that some programmers prefers to use Python 2 instead of Python 3. Hope this helps :)
