When talking with researchers, they like using Anaconda to install Python and other Python packages to build Python environment. Anaconda is a collection or all in one for Python and other Data Science (Analysis) packages. People do not have to annoy about the install issue and installing additional Python packages.
Jupyter [1] is kind of web base iPython. Maybe.
Try to install Anaconda and use Jupyter in it.
Anaconda is here. Download Anaconda3 (for Pytyon3). www.anaconda.com
After installing, click "Anaconda Navigator" icon. Click "Jupyter notebook".
Select right top: New => Python3 button in the Jupyter top menu.
You can see below page. You can run Python command casually.
The benefit is that people do not have to run UNIX command line to build the development environment.
