No doubt that spending the time learning the Pyton scripts is well given out. In [Page not found](http://mapillary.trydiscourse.com/t/running-the-python-scripts/130) I have tried writing a guide and feel free to ask in that thread or in this thread. I may not be able to help, but I will try.

I could use python on my laptop. But since python 3 things the environment is too complex. I went with my laptop to a python meetup. Two specialists tried to help me, but with difficulty they managed to install Anaconda.  
No thanks, maybe with my next laptop.

The mapillary code did not run when I installed python 3. When I uninstalled and using python 2 (folder name python27) it all worked.
