[Solution] Point octave to anaconda python (Mac)

[SolarPython]

Hello @all,

I was looking for the possibility to point octave to the python installed by
anaconda on a Mac. I want to share with you the solution I've found.

I already found two posts about this:

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Installing-the-symbolic-package-td4672222.html
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Getting-Octave-to-use-Anaconda-Python-Environment-td4676345.html

The approach mentioned in the second one (installing sympy to the
system-python) did not work for me.

In the end I found the right command/path to the anaconda python.

Type in octave:

/setenv PYTHON /anaconda3/bin/python//
/sympref reset /
/sympref diagnose /

and it should work :)
