Download the Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) here (scroll down, click the “Download” button and choose the Windows version. Install it.
You have to install sympy half-manually. Open a terminal (e.g. click Start -> Run, type “cmd” and press OK), run:
enpkg sympy
and press Enter.
Download the envTB package here and unpack it to a directory of your choice.
Now, you have to tell Python where to look for the package. Right-click on Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables. Click on one of the “New” buttons. Enter “PYTHONPATH” as variable name and the path were you extracted the envTB package (e.g. C:UsersYourUsernameDesktopenvTB-master) as variable value.
Whenever you want to use envTB, you can use one of the methods mentioned in the Linux/Usage section. Just start a terminal and type the command, e.g.:
python myfile.py
or:
ipython
or:
ipython notebook --pylab=inline
I personally prefer the first for bigger calculations and the last one for development).
You can also start Python and IPython from the Start menu.
For convenient use, you can add a shortcut to your Desktop by right-clicking on it -> New -> Shortcut, then enter “ipython notebook –pylab=inline”, which will open a browser window with an IPython session right away.
