I need some documentation related to itk and vtk for python 3.5 for my learning process.so, any help would be appreciated..Thank you.
See the ITK Python Quick Start Guide.

It looks like spyder IDE is pretty limited when it comes to debugging any scipy ML code as it is not possible to run scipy optimization methods or plotting libraries in debug mode. The kernel keeps on restarting .
I am not sure how to debug my code particularly the scipy.optimize.minimize method( i don't want to go inside the method to debug but just want to execute it in a loop of 10 and read the parameter theta). I can do it easily in Octave.
I am surprised that spyder python IDE lacks proper debugging capabilities to this extend.I was reading a response in stackoverflow by the developer of Sypder dated approx 2 years back talking about improving the debugging capabilities. I am using spyder 3.4.1 with python 3.6 and unfortunately it is still not good. can someone please recommend a better IDE mode of debugging in python ? .
I have installed my python using Anaconda distribution which I thought is the best out there. appreciate your help.
I know that python 3.6 is only available since a few days. What do you think when cx_Oracle for python 3.6 will become available?
I'm not a python expert. May I also ask why there is a dependency between the python minor version and the Oracle library?
thanks a lot, and have a great new year.

The reason there is a dependency is because cx_Oracle is a C extension, which means that it must be compiled every time the Python C API changes. That generally happens each time a minor version is released. As to when cx_Oracle will be released for Python 3.6 -- that is unknown but hopefully will be soon! In the meantime you can compile it for yourself and use it before any official release is made.
The website, http://www.nltk.org, says mid 2011 in a very vague manner. I would like to start using NLTK however I have done a fair amount of work with Python 3.x and I don't want to have to go backwards in Python version just to use it. Just doing an effort analysis, if the wait is long enough I might bite the bullet and revert my Python.
There's a Python 3 branch:
https://github.com/nltk/nltk/tree/nltk-py3k
It's a transformation of the trunk and gets updated every so often to keep up with changes. You can check it out directly from git (instead of using the NLTK installation) and give it a shot.
git clone git://github.com/nltk/nltk.git nltk --branch nltk-py3k
I haven't used it personally, but I assume it works.
There is a "2and3" branch in the main nltk repo - see https://github.com/nltk/nltk/tree/2and3
It appears to be getting updated regularly, although I haven't tried it myself.
Here's the alpha release: https://github.com/nltk/nltk3-alpha

For those who got here wondering when will nltk support python3:
Good news, the NLTK 3.0 series (currently on alpha and in development since Jan 2013) now support Python 2.6, 2.7 and Python 3 (http://www.nltk.org/nltk3-alpha/), We'll probably see a stable release soon :)
And the book is also being updated for python3, available at: http://www.nltk.org/book3/
So, the official release was in September 2014, just to add closure to the question
I have been looking into various game design modules for python such as pyglet and pyGame. I have noticed that both of these seem to only be compatible with python 2. Seeing as python 3 is the most current version, why is this? My experience with python has been with python 3, so are there good frameworks/modules out there for python 3 game development? Or would I be better off learning python 2 and using pyglet or pyGame?
edit: I would be using pyGame on a mac. The downloads page, http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml, only has links for py2.6, py2.5, and py2.4, which is what leads me to believe it is not python 3 compatible.
I don't even get your question, as PyGame is compatible with Python 3 since version 1.9:
http://www.pygame.org/wiki/python3porting?parent=todo
There are a few minor issues, but it is usable with Python 3.
I'm developing a pygame-based application on Mac OSX with python 3. It definitely works fine, and so far I haven't run into any compatibility problems, though there are certainly other mac-specific pygame bugs that I have found.
That said, I can definitely confirm that it works.
The fifth link from the top under "Windows" on the page you linked to clearly has py-3.1 in the name.
They don't support Python 3, because nobody has made them support Python 3 yet. It's a bizarre question. :-)
PyGame seems to mostly support Python 3. There are some issues: (from http://www.pygame.org/wiki/python3porting?parent=todo )
Complete unicode file name handling (fsencoding branch), then merge back into trunk (by mid Sept/10).
update documentation to explain Unicode in Pygame
work out final solution for open Python 3 IOBase objects: how to check abstract types from C. (Sept. 1, 2010) Probably the most practical solution is to just do duck typing.
_movie - deferred until module is ready for release
scrap (does some C string stuff that makes porting difficult)
camera - what is the status of this module?
Nowhere does it say that it doesn't work for Python 3 on mac, and it seems unlikely to that that this would be the case. So you can try, but you will have to compile it yourself.
Pyglet doens't mention Python 3, so it's probably not ported.
pyglet 1.2 (alpha as of July 2012) works with Python 3.
Is the combination of Python 3 and PyQt 4 recommended? Are there any alternatives?
I don't see why not, there is a version available for Python 3 which works normally, and the only alternative if you really need Qt would be PySide, which is far from being compatible with Python 3.
Other GUI alternatives would be wxPython (not in Python 3 yet AFAIK) and the "native" Tkinter (which is something else...).
If PyQt4 is the only non-native module you need, there should be no problem.
Check if all modules you need are available for Py3k!
PyQt4 for Py3k is not yet integrated into all distributions.
I.e. on Debian PyQt4 only works with Python 2 currently.
Have a look at 3to2! A tool to convert Py3 to Py2 code.
That is just better than coding in Py2 and using 2to3.
