Usage

Two versions of Anaconda are available on OLCF systems. The first one provides a python 2.7 based environment and is accessible by running: 
$ module load python_anaconda
$ python
Python 2.7.10 |Anaconda 2.3.0 (64-bit)| (default, May 28 2015, 17:02:03)
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Anaconda is brought to you by Continuum Analytics.

This will open up Anaconda's python interpreter where you will have access to all 400+ python packages. The second version available is based around python 3 and is accessible by running: 
$ module load python_anaconda3
$ python
Python 3.4.3 |Anaconda 2.3.0 (64-bit)| (default, Jun 4 2015, 15:29:08)
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-1)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Here is a more robust example showing that you have access to matplotlib without the python_matplotlib module being loaded, as well as to the scikit-learn machine learning package: scikit.py (from the scikit-learn website): Next make sure that the python_anaconda module is loaded and then run the python script as you would normally: 
$ module load python_anaconda
$ python scikit.py
