[Bigbang-user] question + starting user notes

Did you by any chance try using the Anaconda Python distribution?

I'm sorry you had such a hard time getting this installed.

It's a little hard for me to diagnose the problem as you have changed the
context quite a bit. But if you were using the pip installation
instructions and having trouble with the build, it's probably because I
should have specified starting a new virtual env with a particular Python
version to begin with.

Does that sound right to you? If so I'll make a ticket.

Again, thanks so much for your interest in this project. I'll support your
work however I'm able.

best regards,
Seb
