> Let me state at the start that I am new to Python. I am moving away from Fortran and Matlab to Python and I use all different types of numerical and statistical recipes in my work. I have been reading about NumPy and SciPy and could not find any definitive answers to my questions, below.  I had run into many mostly installation problems that I could never get NumPy or SciPy to work with Python 3.3 or newer.  I am using Windows7 64 bit OS.

I concur with Chris that Linux is generally a better choice than Windows,
if only to get a nicely preconfigured system that makes it easy to install
stuff. Especially for "research" (assuming we're talking about the same
thing). If you say that you're "moving away from Fortran" on Windows, then
I guess you're aware how clumsy low level software development can be on
that platform and how tricky it is to set up. That could be enough of a
reason to switch platforms (assuming that's really an option for you).

Ok, if you use only the IPython notebook for all your processing needs, you
may not notice the difference in terms of interface all that much, but in
that case, why stick with Windows in the first place? :)

If you decide to use Windows, try Anaconda. It's an all inclusive installer
that comes with pretty much all of your scientific processing tools in one
package:

http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/

There's a Py3.3 version.
