I'm new to Python with a new windows 8 machine (64-bit OS). Learning
programming mainly for fun. Naturally I downloaded Python 3.3 (who doesn't
want the latest and greatest). What I want involves functions related to the
normal distribution. Based on my google research, it appears that SCIPY is a
good way to go. That requires NUMPY. I don't seem to find an install that
works for my environment which leads to the questions on this post: Is there an
install for my environment and if so, where do I get it? If not, is there
another package I should use? Or do I need to bite the bullet and install an
earlier version of Python. Suggestions and comments appreciated. Thanks.
Rex,
A good start for supplementary packages is PyPi, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_Package_Index
The packages in PyPi can be downloaded using easy-install, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EasyInstall
Yes, the Enthught Numpy is a good starting point.
Good luck and have fun,
Colin W
