0. Pre-requirement

Especially, nothing. This editor has built-in python. It includes,

• python-2.5.2.msi
• numpy-1.1.1-win32-superpack-python2.5
• scipy-0.6.0.win32-py2.5
• matplotlib-0.98.3.win32-py2.5
• ipython-0.9.1.win32
• pyreadline-1.5-win32-setup.exe
• VTK-5.2.0-py2.5
• pyaudio-0.2.3.py25.exe
• winpdb-1.4.0.win32.exe

Of course, you can use other Python installation individually. Please download and install from below link (Official release).
http://www.python.org/

This editor designed for working with pylab package and ipython shell. You can install both softwares manually, but better way of installation is using the python enthought edition as follows.

1. Download
You can download the editor here.

2. Install

Please execute the downloaded installer.

3. Configuration iPython shell

In the default installation, the path to ipython should be set to system path.

But if it is not set, please configure the ipython’s path at the menu of Edit(&E)->Config ipython->Path to iPython.

Typically settings are like following.

Path to iPython : C:\Python25\Scripts\ipython.exe

Option of iPython : -pylab

or

Path to iPython : python C:\Python25\Scripts\ipython-script.py -pylab

Option of iPython :

In enthought’s ipython, the first setting work properly. If you set C:\Python25\Scripts to yout system path, just ipython is OK.

If you install ipython individually from original site, the second setting is may be safety, and please check the existence of ipython-script.py (maybe other filename).

I have plan to add auto-detection of ipython, or including ipython in the distribution, this setting will be more simple.
