Overview

    WinPython is a portable distribution of the Python programming 
    language for Windows (http://code.google.com/p/winpython).

    This is the `winpython` Python package, not the distribution itself.
    It includes two main features:

        The WinPython Package Manager (WPPM): let you install/uninstall 
        to your WinPython distribution any standard Python package built 
        with distutils (e.g. "dummypackage-2.1.win-amd64-py2.7.‌exe")

        The WinPython build toolchain: make.py is the script used to 
        build a WinPython distribution from (almost) scratch.

Dependencies

    Python >=2.6 or Python >=3.0
    PyQt4 >=4.5 or PySide >=1.1.1 (PyQt4 is recommended)
    guidata >=1.6.1

Requirements

    7zip (directory has to be available in PATH)
    NSIS:
      * "Large strings" special build (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Special_Builds)
      * with TextReplace plugin installed
    Microsoft Visual C++ DLLs -- the versions have to be the same as the 
    one used to build your Python installation. For example, when using the
    official Python 2.7 build, you will need v9.0.21022.8:
      * 32bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
      * 64bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=15336

Installation

    From the source package (see section 'Building dependencies'), you may 
    install WinPython using the integrated setup.py script based on Python 
    standard library `distutils` with the following command:
        `python setup.py install`

    Note that `distutils` does *not* uninstall previous versions of Python 
    packages: it simply copies files on top of an existing installation. 
    When using this command, it is thus highly recommended to uninstall 
    manually any previous version of WinPython by removing the associated 
    directory ('winpython' in your site-packages directory).

    From the Python package index, you may simply install WinPython *and* 
    upgrade an existing installation using `pip`:
    http://pypi.python.org/pypi

    But the easiest way to install the last stable release of WinPython is 
    by using an executable installer: http://winpython.googlecode.com
