13/ Another of Paul F. Velleman's aphorisms is related to the co-evolution of different aspects of data analysis.

➡️ The data analysis process rarely proceeds in an orderly march from question to answer.

➡️ Software that requires us to know the question before we can seek answers hinders real data analysis.

Thank you for your kind comment 🙂

@silmaril Thank you for your feedback! And let us reiterate here that any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

@silmaril "system version" is the version that was used by your system/distribution to link cantor against. We'll re-phrase this part to make it more clear until we have a better and more flexible solution in place.

Yes, showing the version should be possible in the settings dialog. We added this point to our TODO-list.

@silmaril this is correct at the moment. Clearly, this not what people want to have usually and we need to change this.

To determine the required version, you can check the dependencies of executable ‘cantor_pyrhonserver’ on Linux either in your package manager or with ldd. For windows we compile and ship everything and document the required version of python in our FAQ.

@silmaril it’s decided at build/compile time. LabPlot is using Cantor internally and when Cantor is being built, the shared libraries of Python that are found in the labrary path are used and linked to. This basically fixes the version of Python used in labplot/cantor.

@silmaril

"CAS" generally stands for a "Computer Algebra System". It encompasses statistical packages and programming languages like #Maxima, #Octave, #R, #Scilab, #Sage, #KAlgebra, #Qalculate!, #Python, #Julia, #Lua. You can use them all concurrently in multiple #LabPlot's notebooks.

Please, see the attached screenshot. In this case, Python 3.12.3 is available in LabPlot on a Ubuntu machine.

@silmaril unfortunately this is more complicated… we’re not communicating with the binary like this is the case for example for Maxima and Octave but embedding the interpreter at runtime. So, our binaries are linked to python’s shared library. This is done at build step and this is the reason why we can only work with the “system version” of Python. This is an important topic that was raised to us already multiple times and we hope we can start working on it in the near future.
