Python - Install

Windows

In order to use the plot lib PyQwt I installed the following packages:

• Python 2.6.2(14MB)
• Python-QT4 Lib for GUIs 4.5.4-1 (18MB) (No separate install of QT necessary)
• Numpy 1.3 used for list manipulating needed by PyQwt
• PyQwt 5.2.0 Plot Lib
• iPython interactive python terminal
• readline (needed by iPython)

Unfortunately above Python installer does not add python to the windows search path, so you have to do it by hand:

• right mouse button on
  • EN: My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> Path
  • DE: Arbeitsplatz -> Eigenschaften -> Erweitert -> Umgebungsvariablen -> Systemvariablen -> Path

add "c:\python26;" at the beginning of this line
