I just installed Anaconda onto my computer, but when I run python -v, a bunch of import stastements that look like a stacktrace gets spit out onto my terminal. Any idea what might’ve gone wrong and how I can fix it?

Answer
if you run python --help you will see that:
-v : verbose (trace import statements); also PYTHONVERBOSE=x
can be supplied multiple times to increase verbosity
you are probably looking for:
-V : print the Python version number and exit (also --version)
notice the uppercase V and lowercase v
