The hard bit is the QT Console, but that's because there aren't wheels for PySide AFAICT.
IPython, matplotlib, scikit-learn, NumPy, nltk, etc. The things that let you break programming out of the low level box of controlling the computer, and connect it directly to the more universal high level task of understanding and visualising the world.

FWIW It’s been David Cournapeau’s opinion (on Twitter at least) that some/all/most (I’m not sure exactly which) of these can be handled by Wheels (they just aren’t right now!).
Yeah, I think they're fixable too. And after thinking through the implications of recommending a specific sumo distribution, that actually does seem to be a more straightforward path as a "default entry point". I still see merit in working with the conda folks to make it easier for Windows and Mac OS folks to keep their Python installations up to date, and for Linux users to stay out of the system Python in a distro independent manner, but that's a separate discussion from the python.org download pages one.
