While setting up the environment using the provided environment.yml file, the installation fails due to Python 3.5 being deprecated. Additionally, some libraries in requirements.txt have outdated dependencies, causing compatibility issues

Current Environment File (environment.yml)

name: data-science-handbook channels: - conda-forge dependencies: - python=3.5 - pip: - -r requirements.txt 

Current Dependencies ( requirements.txt)

numpy==1.11.1 pandas==0.18.1 scipy==0.17.1 scikit-learn==0.17.1 scikit-image==0.12.3 pillow==3.4.2 matplotlib==1.5.1 seaborn==0.7.0 jupyter notebook line_profiler memory_profiler numexpr pandas-datareader netcdf4 

Proposed Fix

• Upgrade Python version: Modify environment.yml to use Python 3.8 or higher.

• Update outdated dependencies: Use newer versions of numpy, pandas, scipy, etc., to resolve conflicts

Expected Outcome

• A functional environment setup with updated dependencies.
