If you're interested in statistics (as comparisons to R suggest), I'd
recommend anaconda.  It comes with pandas built-in, for one.  I'd also
suggest the 3.4 version.  Finally, just over the past few months, we've
crossed over to where 3.4 is fully-functional in the anaconda
distribution.  (For a while statsmodels was the hold-out; matplotlib had
problems before that.  Now, though, all is good.)

Cheers,
