Python builds failing

Starting sometime last week my builds started to fail. We build with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 (on x86 and x64). Until last week, all our builds were completing but then the Python 2.7 builds began to fail (on both x86 and x64). The failure happens when trying to install Python (from Anaconda).

I turned off the 2.7 builds and now the 3.4 builds are failing with exactly the same error.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

The exact error I get is the following,

conda install -q --yes numpy=%NUMPY_VERSION% pip jinja2 scipy nose>=1.3 matplotlib netCDF4 sympy pandas Cython

   What account/project is that?

   Maybe it's conflicting with Miniconda already installed on build workers: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/359 ?

   OK, OSS environment was last updated on October 10: http://www.appveyor.com/updates/2015/10/10 and it basically has nothing related to Python.

   I also tested your latest check-in on a separate environment and got the same results - 3.4 is failing: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FeodorFitsner/landlab/build/1.0.1

   That environment is still "in beta" environment we are going to switch OSS onto. Build worker image there was re-installed from scratch.

   Looks like some external dependency changed :-/

   Btw, I moved your account to that environment so builds should run faster.

   OK. I think this is fixed. I'm now using the pre-installed Miniconda, as you suggested. Apart from fixing this issue, it speeds up my builds a bit and simplifies the code. Thanks, for the suggestion. I didn't realize Miniconda was already installed.

   Is there any chance it's possible to have an environment with a full Anaconda distribution pre-installed? That would really speed up my builds!

   Thanks for all your help! Much appreciated.

   Can Anaconda co-exist (installed side-by-side) with Miniconda on the same server? :)

   Well, I would have thought so... but I'm not so certain about that anymore!
