[IPython-dev] Jupyter/IPython for beginner

Mentioned frequently, I think hands-down the easiest way to install all the
things for the beginner, especially on windows, is anaconda... it installs
almost 200 vetted packages into userland (no permissions issues) and uses
binaries (no compiler toolchain needed).

it comes with a graphical launcher for the notebook:

While it doesn't ship with the notebook, it's one click away, and I'd still
say it is about the simplest you can get. nbopen seems like it would be a
nice addition: i would say boutique, nb-specific things would be out of
scope, but ana ships runipy, so maybe the case could be made for inclusion.

Of course, there are the hosted solutions: sagemathcloud and tmpnb,
depending on your needs.

Going beyond the above towards single-notebook app-ification is
interesting. Some custom version of atom/hydrogen with an embedded anaconda
environment would be a remarkable installable experience.
