Hi,
We're currently working on updating some getting started documentation for
Qiskit and as it's
written in Python we wanted to link to instructions on how to install Python
(you can see the
PR in progress for this here: https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/pull/1613).
Previously,
this section of the documentation linked to the Anaconda website which in my
opinion isn't a
good recommendation for a few reasons. So we were looking to update that
documentation to
point to the official installation instructions for Python. Looking at
python.org the getting
started page (https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/) refers to this wiki
page:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download
for the details. I think the wiki page could probably use some updates as it
looks a bit out
of date. I'd like to request permission to edit that page so that I can make it
a bit more
up-to-date. Something like the following: (between "----")
----
# Downloading Python
I'd say linking back to the OS-specific pages from
[https://docs.python.org/3/using/index.html] would be valuable - there
are many tips for first-timers like dealing with the Python launcher and
other Windows oddities and the Mac setup in those pages that people
don't end up finding as easily as they should.
