Subject: [PATCH] Python install: update Anaconda URL
The Anaconda corporation has become rather more aggressive about getting users to sign up, as well as pushing their other products. The current link we use now goes to a "Provide email to download Distribution" screen with an almost invisible "Skip registration" button. This has baffled at least one learner in my workshop today.
This commit replaces the URL with a link that goes straight to the download page.
