[Baypiggies] Discussion for newbies/beginner night talks / VTK, Enthought

[Stephen McInerney]

Chris,

- Enthought is an awesome Windows bundle with
scientific-batteries-very-included, even if it does trail releases of
Python itself by ~1yr. (currently at Python 2.4.3)
It takes all the headache out of installing compatible
versions of multiple numeric and visualization packages, which is
seriously painful.

- Best place to ask your Ubuntu / transplanted binary question is on
'enthon-dev' list. https://mail.enthought.com/mailman/listinfo
(also has 'enthought-announce' and other lists)
I suspect they do not support that.

- I am not aware of other VTK users in BayPIGgies but I think it's good for 
scientific apps;
I know quite a few scientific users use GTK.
I never encountered any of the issues you did.
Either try Enthought Python on XP (should be easy), or try reporting and
troubleshooting the individual packages like VTK (more painful).

Regards,
Stephen
