Personally I always install ActiveState Python on
Windows so that I can set up the Pythonwin IDE and
use the ActiveState Windows help viewer for the
Python docs.
The installer should do everything you need for
you. (You may have to locate the pyhonwin exe and
set up a shortcut - I seem to recall that was not
done by the installer for Win 10...
Caveat: ActiveState are sometimes a few months
behind with their python versions so might not
have the very latest build out yet.
