Overview

--------

WinPython is a portable distribution of the Python programming 

language for Windows (https://winpython.github.io).

		

This is the `winpython` Python package, not the distribution itself.

It includes two main features:

WinPython Package Manager (WPPM)

  a graphical layer over pip, to let you install/uninstall 

  to your WinPython distribution any standard Python package built  

  as source  (e.g. "dummypackage-2.1.zip" or "dummypackage-2.1.tar.gz") 

  or as wheel (e.g. "dummypackage-2.1-py3-none-any.whl")

			

WinPython build toolchain

  make.py is the script used to 

  build a WinPython distribution from (almost) scratch.

Dependencies

------------   

* Python3 >= 3.4 (Python>= 3.7 is recommended)

* PyQt5 >= 5.6 or PySide2>=5.11 (PyQt5 >=5.12 or Pyside2 >= 5.12 is recommended)

Requirements

------------

* NSIS (for icon shortcut creations, installer can be NSIS, INNO, 7-Zip, or nothing)

    

* PyQt5 or Pyside2 is required to execute WinPython Control Panel/Ipython Qt and Qt related packages.

  if not installed, these packages will not execute.

Installation

------------

    

From the source package (see section 'Building dependencies'), you may 

install WinPython using the integrated setup.py script based on Python 

standard library `distutils` with the following command:

**python setup.py install**

Note that `distutils` does *not* uninstall previous versions of Python 

packages: it simply copies files on top of an existing installation. 

When using this command, it is thus highly recommended to uninstall 

manually any previous version of WinPython by removing the associated 

directory ('winpython' in your site-packages directory).

From the Python package index, you may simply install WinPython *and* 

upgrade an existing installation using `pip`: https://pypi.org

But the easiest way to install the last stable release of WinPython is 

by using an executable installer: https://winpython.github.io/
