At the moment I'm doing most of my stuff on a Mac, but I've been considering also getting a Windows laptop. One of the reasons is that I've found it very difficult to get certain Python related things running on the Mac; for example, if one wants to use the most up-to-date Python on the mac, rather than the one installed by Apple, things can get a bit hairy, and then if one wants to go PyQT/wxPy/etc, it can get even worse with trying to get all the compiling/linking to work.
On the other hand, it seems like most of this stuff is just available as installers for PCs. Am I being naive to think that installation of most of this stuff (including getting it working) will be much easier in the PC world? And on a somewhat related note, do people find ipython to be a decent replacement on Windows for the fact that the Windows shell is braindead?
