python3.6 setup on Mac 10.13 (High Sierra)

1. Install python3.6 & pip3.md

1. Install Python 3.6.x from https://www.python.org/downloads/ or via homebrew
   Check that python3 has been installed by running it at the terminal:

$ python3
>>> Python 3.6.4

2. Download get-pip.py from https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py and install (this should already be installed if python was installed from python.org or homebrew):

$ curl -O https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
$ sudo python3 get-pip.py

3. Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper

$ sudo -H pip3 install virtualenv
$ sudo -H pip3 install virtualenvwrapper --ignore-installed six

4. Add the following to your ~/.bash_profile to load virtualenvwrapper then run bash -l

if [ -e /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh ]; then
  source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
fi

5. Create your virtual enviornment named py3

$ mkvirtualenv --python=`which python3.6` py3

2. requirements.txt

/*
* To install all modules: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

3. opencv3 with python3.md

Installing opencv3 with python3.6

$ brew update
$ brew install opencv3 --with-python3   # Add --with-contrib if you want the contrib modules
$ ln -s /usr/local/opt/opencv3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2.cpython-36m-darwin.so /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2.so

You may have to export PYTHONPATH:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/Cellar/opencv3/3.4.0/lib/python3.6/site-packages

If you installed a previous version of opencv and no longer need it, remove it:

brew cleanup opencv

Test:

$ python3
In[1]: import cv2
In[2]: cv2.__version__
Out[2]: '3.4.0'

4. Other python3 modules.md

Install these modules from Github as their py3 support is currently not published on PyPI. Their master branch works with Python3.6

Set your locale in an environment variable in ~/.bash_profile

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Type bash -l in your terimal to run the updated bash_profile.
Now, install the modules:

$ pip3 install git+git://github.com/cython/cython@master
$ pip3 install git+git://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels
$ pip3 install git+git://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc3

5. Install numba.md

$ brew install llvm
$ brew link llvm --force
$ pip3 install numba

Test code from numba
