Enthought Python Distribution (EPD)

The Time-Tested, Reliable Scientific and Analytic Python Distribution

The Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) has been installed across hundreds of thousands of machines over the last decade. Now with over 450 pre-built and tested scientific and analytic Python packages, this time-tested collection provides users a streamlined way to deploy Python distributions.

With the new Enthought Deployment Manager (command line) and Enthought Canopy (GUI), users have a choice of two tools to access EPD in the way that best meets their individual needs.

Choose EDM to access Enthought's Python Distribution if you:

  • Prefer command line package management

  • Prefer a single-layer Python distribution (à la legacy EPD)

  • Want to use multiple sandboxed environments

      

Choose Canopy to access Enthought's Python Distribution if you:

  • Prefer a graphical package manager integrated with Canopy's editor and console

  • Want the convenience of an integrated analysis environment with direct access to packages

What is EDM?

EDM is Enthought’s next generation environment and application manager (currently in pre-release, but available for testing now).

For long-time EPD users, you’ll recognize EDM and its edm command line tool as a replacement for Enstaller and its enpkg command line tool. EDM installs the same great packages and Python executables that make up EPD, and adds features such as multi-environment management and package dependency resolution.

What is Enthought Canopy?

Enthought Canopy combines an easy to use graphical user interface for Python and Python package installation, plus an integrated analyis environment, free for all users.

Additional features, such as a Data Import Tool, graphical debugger and variable browser, online training courses, and technical support, are also available with a Canopy subscription plan.
