| 45 | + <h2><a name="Overview"></a>Overview</h2> |
| 46 | + <p>WinPython is a free open-source portable |
| 47 | + distribution of the <a href="https://www.python.org/">Python |
| 48 | + programming language</a> for Windows XP/7/8, designed for scientists, |
| 49 | + supporting both 32bit and 64bit versions of Python 2 and Python 3. </p> |
| 50 | + <p><img style="width: 901px; height: 97px;" alt="WinPython_Launchers" src="images/winpython_launchers_2741.png"> </p> |
| 51 | + <p>It is a full-featured (see what's |
| 52 | + inside <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/PackageIndex_27/">WinPython |
| 53 | + 2.7</a> or <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/PackageIndex_33/">WinPython |
| 54 | + 3.3</a>) Python-based scientific environment: </p> |
| 55 | + <ul> |
| 56 | + <li>Designed for scientists (thanks to the |
| 57 | + integrated libraries <a href="http://numpy.org/">NumPy</a>, <a href="https://www.scipy.org/">SciPy</a>, <a href="http://www.matplotlib.org/">Matplotlib</a>, |
| 58 | + <a href="https://code.google.com/p/guiqwt/">guiqwt</a>, etc.): </li> |
| 59 | + <ul> |
| 60 | + <li>Regular <strong>scientific users</strong>: |
| 61 | + interactive data processing and visualization using Python with <a href="https://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/">Spyder</a> </li> |
| 62 | + <li><strong>Advanced scientific users and |
| 63 | + software developers</strong>: |
| 64 | + Python applications development with <a href="https://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/">Spyder</a>, |
| 65 | + version control with Mercurial and other development tools (like |
| 66 | + gettext, etc.) </li> |
| 67 | + </ul> |
| 68 | + <li><strong>Portable</strong>: preconfigured, it |
| 69 | + should run out of |
| 70 | + the box on any machine under Windows (<a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/Installation">without |
| 71 | + any requirement</a>) and the folder containing WinPython can |
| 72 | + be moved to any location (local, network or removable drive) with most |
| 73 | + of the <a href="https://code.google.com/p/winpython/wiki/Installation#Settings">application settings</a> </li> |
| 74 | + <li><strong>Flexible</strong>: one can install (or |
| 75 | + should I write "use" as it's portable) as many WinPython versions as |
| 76 | + necessary (like isolated and self-consistent environments), even if |
| 77 | + those versions are running different versions of Python (2.7, 3.3) or |
| 78 | + different architectures (32bit or 64bit) on the |
| 79 | + same machine </li> |
| 80 | + <li><strong>Customizable</strong>: </li> |
| 81 | + <ul> |
| 82 | + <li>The integrated package manager (wppm, as |
| 83 | + WinPython Package Manager) helps installing, uninstalling or upgrading |
| 84 | + Python packages (see <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/WPPM">WPPM wiki page</a> |
| 85 | + for more details on supported package formats) </li> |
| 86 | + <li>As <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/WPPM">WPPM</a> may not |
| 87 | + support some packages, it's also possible to install or upgrade |
| 88 | + packages using <tt>easy_install</tt> or <tt>pip</tt> from the |
| 89 | + WinPython command prompt </li> |
| 90 | + <li>A configuration file allows to set <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/Environment">environment |
| 91 | + variables</a> at runtime </li> |
| 92 | + </ul> |
| 93 | + </ul> |
| 94 | + <p>WinPython vs. Python(x,y): <strong>WinPython is |
| 95 | + not an |
| 96 | + attempt to |
| 97 | + replace <a href="https://code.google.com/p/pythonxy/">Python(x,y)</a></strong>, |
| 98 | + this is just something different (see <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/Roadmap">motivation and |
| 99 | + concept</a>): more flexible, easier to maintain, movable and less |
| 100 | + invasive for the OS, but certainly less user-friendly, with less |
| 101 | + packages/contents and without any integration to Windows explorer.</p> |
| 102 | + <p style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 125px; height: 45px;" alt="WinPython_Small_Logos" src="images/small_logos.png"><br> |
| 103 | + </p> |
| 104 | + <h2><a name="Portable_or_not,_the_choice_is_yours!"></a>Portable |
| 105 | + or |
| 106 | + not, the choice is yours!</h2> |
| 107 | + <p>WinPython is a portable application, so the user |
| 108 | + should |
| 109 | + not |
| 110 | + expect |
| 111 | + any integration into Windows explorer during <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/Installation">installation</a>. |
| 112 | + However, the <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/ControlPanel">WinPython |
| 113 | + Control Panel</a> allows to "register" your distribution to Windows |
| 114 | + (see screenshot below). </p> |
| 115 | + <p><img style="width: 453px; height: 152px;" alt="WinPython_Register" src="images/wpcp_register_2741.png"> </p> |
| 116 | + <p>Registering your WinPython installation will: </p> |
| 117 | + <ul> |
| 118 | + <li>associate file extensions <tt>.py</tt>, <tt>.pyc</tt>m |
| 119 | + and <tt>.pyo</tt> |
| 120 | + to Python interpreter </li> |
| 121 | + <li>register Python icons in Windows explorer </li> |
| 122 | + <li>add context menu entries <tt>Edit with IDLE</tt> |
| 123 | + and <tt>Edit |
| 124 | + with Spyder</tt> for <tt>.py</tt> files </li> |
| 125 | + <li>register WinPython as a standard Python |
| 126 | + distribution |
| 127 | + (standard |
| 128 | + Python Windows installers will see WinPython in Windows registry) </li> |
| 129 | + </ul> |
| 130 | + That is exactly what the official Python installer would do to your |
| 131 | + machine: in other words, you can have it both ways! </div> |
