I didn’t find it very stable, and even installing basic things like Virtualenv gave me problems.Ģ. The official from : Especially on Windows, this is good only for learning. Here are some of the few Python versions I’ve tried:ġ.
For my upcoming course on Python, I needed a lot of third party libraries, and I found that Python’s packaging system is really broken. All I meant was, in this day and age, it’s a shame there is no good packager for Python on Windows).īut I found that as soon as you try to do anything more complicated, like install libraries which need to be compiled (like numpy or scipy), the official build starts falling down. It is not, and I apologise if it came out that way. (Note: Lots of people have taken the previous sentence as an insult.
If you plan to just stick to solving Project Euler or other such toy problems, then the official site is good enough. “But Mr T,” you say, “what’s the problem? You go to and just download it. If you have every tried to use Python beyond toy problems on Windows, you will have struggled with library clashes, 32/64 bit versions, ghost libraries (that seemed to be installed, but can’t be called).Īs someone who uninstalled and reinstalled Python eight times in the last four weeks, let me tell you, getting Python working perfectly on Windows isn’t easy.
