It is a full-featured (see our Wiki) Python-based scientific environment:
●Designed for scientists, data-scientists, and education (thanks to NumPy, SciPy, Sympy, Matplotlib, Pandas, pyqtgraph, etc.):
●interactive data processing and visualization using Python with Spyder and Jupyter/IPython, Pyzo, IDLEX or IDLE
●fully integrated Cython and Numba! See included example
●connectors (cffi, odbc, rpy2, scilab2py, requests, ...) for advanced users
●Portable:
●Runs out of the box(*) on any Windows 8+ with 2GB Ram (Jupyter Notebook will require a recent browser)
●The WinPython folder can be moved to any location (**) (local, network, USB drive) with most of the application settings
●Flexible:
●You can install as many WinPython distributions as you want on the same machine: each one is isolated and self-consistent
●These installations can be of different versions of Python (3.7/3.8/3.9...)
●Customizable:
●The integrated WinPython Package Manager (WPPM) helps installing, uninstalling or upgrading Python packages
●It's also possible to install or upgrade packages using pip from the WinPython command prompt
●A configuration file allows you to set environment variables at runtime
WinPython is something different from other Python Distributions (see historic motivation and concept):
●non-invasive: WinPython lives entirely in its own directory, without any OS installation
●customizable: add your missing packages, zip the WinPython directory and give it to your students
●do your own version: a winpython-creator kit is made available for you
Registering your WinPython installation will:
●associate file extensions .py, .pyc and .pyo to Python interpreter
●register Python icons in Windows explorer
●add context menu entries Edit with IDLE and Edit with Spyder for .py files
●register WinPython as a standard Python distribution (standard Python Windows installers will see WinPython in Windows registry)
That is exactly what the official Python installer would do to your machine: in other words, you can have it both ways!
(*) For recent WinPython, Windows 8..10 users may have to install missing system DLL Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017..2019 (vc_redist_x86.exe for WinPython 32bit, vc_redist_x64.exe for Winpython 64bit)
(*) For best Winpython 2018-01 and later experience, it is recommended to have WinPython base directory path smaller than 37 characters. example: C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\Downloads\WinPython
(**) Since WinPython 2019-02, all installers are just 7zip auto-extracts.
