工欲善其事必先利其器;
一个语言的好坏对初学者来说,主要是它呈现的用户界面,语法以及编译优化等底层的实现反而不是那么重要.
而这些界面有关的东西通过不同的工具有不同实现方式. 所以,找到和选择合适的工具对学习使用任何语言都是极其重要的.
从所用语言的版本Python有2.7+ 和3.3+两条路线, 两者语法上有很多不同, 前者应该最适合初学,后者更适合应用;
从所用的编辑器或IDE,比较受推崇的是pycharm, 有professional收费和community免费版本
从所需要的各种package来看, 如果全部一个个安装不是不可行,太麻烦了.

Alternative Implementations
This site hosts the "traditional" implementation of Python (nicknamed CPython). A number of alternative implementations are available as well, namely
- IronPython (Python running on .NET)
- Jython (Python running on the Java Virtual Machine)
- PyPy (A fast python implementation with a JIT compiler)
- Stackless Python (Branch of CPython supporting microthreads)
Other parties have re-packaged CPython. These re-packagings often include more libraries or are specialized for a particular application:
- ActiveState ActivePython (commercial and community versions, including scientific computing modules)
- pythonxy (Scientific-oriented Python Distribution based on Qt and Spyder)
- winpython (WinPython is a portable scientific Python distribution for Windows)
- Conceptive Python SDK (targets business, desktop and database applications)
- Enthought Canopy (a commercial distribution for scientific computing)
- Portable Python (Python and add-on packages configured to run off a portable device)
- PyIMSL Studio (a commercial distribution for numerical analysis – free for non-commercial use)
- Anaconda Python (a full Python distribution for data management, analysis and visualization of large data sets)
- eGenix PyRun (a portable Python runtime, complete with stdlib, frozen into a single executable file)

Installation notes
- It is recommended to uninstall any other Python distribution before installing Python(x,y)
- You may update your Python(x,y) installation via individual package installers which are updated more frequently -- see the plugins page
- Please use the Issues page to request new features or report unknown bugs
- Python(x,y) can be easily extended with other Python libraries because Python(x,y) is compatible with all Python modules installers: distutils installers (.exe), Python eggs (.egg), and all other NSIS (.exe) or MSI (.msi) setups
which were built for Python 2.7 official distribution - see the plugins page for customizing options - Another Python(x,y) exclusive feature: all packages are optional (i.e. install only what you need)
- Basemap users (data plotting on map projections): please see the AdditionalPlugins
