At startup

conda install cvxopt Fetching package metadata ........... Solving package specifications: . UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict: - cvxopt -> python 3.5* - python 3.6* Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

After much trial and error, I found that we need to install the numpy + mkl package and the corresponding cvxopt from:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

Download the file, and then do the following:

1) at the command prompt, go to the download folder

2) pip install "numpy-1.13.1 + mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl"

3) pip install "cvxopt-1.1.9-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl"
