WinPython tools

Overview
WinPython is a portable distribution of the Python programming
language for Windows (http://winpython.github.io).
This is the `winpython` Python package, not the distribution itself.
It includes two main features:
The WinPython Package Manager (WPPM): let you install/uninstall
to your WinPython distribution any standard Python package built
with distutils (e.g. "dummypackage-2.1.win-amd64-py3.4.exe")
or with wheels (e.g. "dummypackage-2.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl")
The WinPython build toolchain: make.py is the script used to
build a WinPython distribution from (almost) scratch.
Dependencies
Python2 >= 2.7 or Python3 >= 3.3
PyQt4 >= 4.11 or PySide >= 1.2 (PyQt4 is recommended)
pip >= 6.0.8 and setuptools >= 15.1
Requirements
7zip (directory has to be available in PATH)
NSIS:
* "Large strings" special build (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Special_Builds)
* with TextReplace plugin installed
Microsoft Visual C++ DLLs -- the versions have to be the same as the
one used to build your Python installation. For example, when using the
official Python 2.7 build, you will need v9.0.21022.8:
* 32bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
* 64bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=15336
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`:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi
But the easiest way to install the last stable release of WinPython is
by using an executable installer: http://winpython.github.io/
