Ah, OK.  I  saw that "update" did not work from an older version using
Python 2.7 too.   I guess it will not update python versions, though I am
not sure of that....  Hopefully the ability to do a conda update will be
useful until we switch to Python 3.8, which is probably at least a year
away.

We did notice yesterday that - at least on Windows - the Warning that
things may not work correctly if there is a space in the installation path
is a correct warning.  Some of the things that we saw not work correctly
include making the desktop icons or launching the applications from the
auto-generated '.exe'  files.   I think this is not specific to Larch, and
not something I'm going to be able to fix or work around easily.  For
people who have a space in their username, I believe you will need to
install to another folder.

Great, I'd be interested to see what you use these for.  That is, it might
be nice to have some example notebooks.
