Installing ActivePython and Matplotlib

[ShepherdProductions]

Unless I'm doing something wrong, you need the business subscription to use the PyPM and that cost's 900 dollars...

@ShepherdProductions module is now available for ActivePython on all platforms except Windows 64 bit. If you run a Windows 32 bit build of ActivePython, you should be able to get the module.

hi, i installed activepython and it's great but i have one problem i have python 2.7 and there are libraries that can'r be founded in the pypm section such as PyOgre, panda3d and more, I would wanna know 2 things:

1-is it possible to install panda3d from their site and make it work with activepython coz i have no luck so far doing so.

2- if my only choice is to use pypm, then how to develop a version of the library and upload it to your server and install it using pypm, thank you

in what sense is ActivePython different from Python, in another words, why do we need ActivePython in extra to Python?

[ActiveStateSoftware]

@lukmackul ActivePython is our distribution of Python. You might want to choose ActivePython instead of the one from python.org because of PyPM - ActivePython's binary package manager. That's what this screencast is meant to show off. It's much easier to install packages (especially binary packages on Windows) with PyPM.
