Python install: update Anaconda URL
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The Anaconda corporation has become rather more aggressive about getting users to sign up, as well as pushing their other products.

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.
