• Installing additional Python modules

To access Python on Comet, run module load Python. This will load the default version of Python.

An overview of the module information is shown below (module -r spider ^Python$):

     Other possible modules matches:
        GitPython  IPython  Python-bundle-PyPI

  To find other possible module matches execute:

      $ module -r spider '.*Python.*'

  For detailed information about a specific "Python" package (including how to load the modules) use the module's full name.
  Note that names that have a trailing (E) are extensions provided by other modules.
  For example:

     $ module spider Python/3.14.0

If there are multiple versions of Python listed, then you can load a specific version as follows:

$ module load Python/version_string

You can find the most up to date information whilst logged on to Comet by running module -r spider ^Python$.

There is no embedded help in the Python module (module help Python).
