Many packages have been added or upgraded. Special thanks to Christoph Gohlke for building most of the binary packages bundled in WinPython. WinPython is a free open-source portable distribution of Python for Windows, designed for scientists. It is a full-featured (see http://code.google.com/p/winpython/wiki/PackageIndex) Python-based scientific environment: * Designed for scientists (thanks to the integrated libraries NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, guiqwt, etc.: * Regular *scientific users*: interactive data processing and visualization using Python with Spyder * *Advanced scientific users and software developers*: Python applications development with Spyder, version control with Mercurial and other development tools (like gettext) * *Portable*: preconfigured, it should run out of the box on any machine under Windows (without any installation requirements) and the folder containing WinPython can be moved to any location (local, network or removable drive) * *Flexible*: one can install (or should I write "use" as it's portable) as many WinPython versions as necessary (like isolated and self-consistent environments), even if those versions are running different versions of Python (2.7, 3.x in the near future) or different architectures (32bit or 64bit) on the same machine * *Customizable*: using the integrated package manager (wppm, as WinPython Package Manager), it's possible to install, uninstall or upgrade Python packages (see http://code.google.com/p/winpython/wiki/WPPM for more details on supported package formats). *WinPython is not an attempt to replace Python(x,y)*, this is just something different (see http://code.google.com/p/winpython/wiki/Roadmap): more flexible, easier to maintain, movable and less invasive for the OS, but certainly less user-friendly, with less packages/contents and without any integration to Windows explorer [*]. [*] Actually there is an optional integration into Windows explorer, providing the same features as the official Python installer regarding file associations and context menu entry (this option may be activated through the WinPython Control Panel), and adding shortcuts to Windows Start menu. Enjoy! -Pierre
