I don't think I've ever used any non python.org distributions - what's the difference between Anaconda and WinPython? Edit: Aha, Anaconda seems to be tailored

  Not sure about the difference between Anaconda and WinPython, but I can tell you that Anaconda was what I found when I needed to install python on Windows at work without admin rights. It works really well and installs most packages you would need.

  One thing about WinPython is that it doesn't "install" itself in the Windows sense, but just lives in a directory. So you can remove it completely by just deleting it, or have multiple installs on a computer that are isolated from one another. I find it's easy for me to port one of my apps to a new computer and get it running quickly. This is handy because I share my stuff with colleagues worldwide, and also am deploying things in our manufacturing plant. Note that I happen to be in the "scientific Python" camp, and also use Python for controlling scientific instrumentation and test equipment.
