I've heard good things about the anaconda distribution as far as setup and everything goes for scientific computation purposes. Comes with most packages you'd need: https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/ https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/
I don't actually have it myself, but it does seem to be trying to solve the problem you point out.
- washedup 13y agoThat's great! If this can match RStudio as an IDE, then Python is heading in the right direction. Thanks for showing me this.
- gallamine 13y agoAnaconda is a fabulous way of installing a majority of Python tools you'd need for data science. It also includes Spyder - a Matlab-like IDE. Before you go back to RStudio, you should at least check out the IPython Notebooks style workflow. It grows on you. PyCharm is anothe IDE I've been looking at - it has a free community edition too.
- hogu 13y agoin the short term, you should check out spyder http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/ http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/ we ship it with anaconda
- elliott34 13y agoThis is amazing! I'm happy I came across this comment. I've always been frustrated installing python packages as a python newbie. in R (in R studio) it was always just search and click, and, suddenly, "I know Kung-Fu" like Neo in the matrix, except, err, "I know ggplot2."
