Choosing the Right Python Distribution (Anaconda, Miniconda)

When you decide to use Python for analyzing your SAP data or building AI/ML models, one of the first choices you'll encounter isn't just about which version of Python to install, but which *distribution*.

Think of the standard Python installation from python.org as the basic engine. It's powerful and versatile, but for specialized tasks like data science, you need a lot of extra parts – libraries for numerical computation, data manipulation, visualization, and machine learning.

Installing and managing all these libraries individually can quickly become complex and time-consuming, especially when dealing with dependencies and potential conflicts between different packages.
