Lawrence,
It depends on what you want to do. Anaconda is a python distribution
intended for data science and machine learning, so if you want to work on
machine learning, it provides an easy way to install all the required
packages for that. You can use any python distribution with org-mode, you
just have to tell org-babel the path to the python interpreter you want to
use.
I would suggest that you pick a project, an application you want to make,
and start from there. I am currently making an application using python and
org-mode, which consists of a single org document and has ~170 python
source blocks. It is a simple podcast database, I am just doing it to try
the literary programming style in python. You can check it out here
<https://github.com/martinalsinet/podcast-db>, the only problem is that the
document is in spanish, my native language.
In this application I have leveraged python's import feature, so that I
write small functions (each in their corresponding source code block) which
I tangle into files and import from other blocks. This allows the document
to have a logical structure as a document, with sections for each module,
and also being able to call any block from any other.
If you have any doubts or need help starting out, don't hesitate to contact
me, I would be happy to help you.
Martín
