Analysis packages usually do not work with the system version of python. Installing a newer one yourself is possible, but not so easy in many cases and you might run out of disk space. This wiki describes how to do it using Anaconda which is maintained by the PDP group and accessible from most Nikhef machines, as long as they are running SLC6 (do 'cat /etc/issue' to find out). stbc-i2,i3,i4 work as well as all the stoomboot batch nodes with the exception of those in the 'legacy' queue. | Analysis packages usually do not work with the system version of python.
