Thanks for introducing me to iPython Notebook. I had never heard of this, but it looks very promising. The browser-based interface does not look as polished as R's studio application and I'm a bit confused why this functionality is not in the Qt console, but I'll check it out nonetheless.

Much of python's power for data science comes from the scipy/numpy libraries and the tools built on top of them. Unfortunately, installing these requires first installing a bunch of fortran libraries. Fortunately, There is a free distribution of python that comes with them and comes with a package manager you can use to install python libraries that have C extensions. You can also install R packages and use them from iPython notebook. https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/ https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/
