WPPM
WinPython is a portable distribution of Python. In other words, even if it provides a working Python environment, WinPython does not install Python on your machine. As a consequence, it's not possible to install packages using standard Python installers (these installers will look for Python in Windows registry and won't find it).
That's why I wrote the WinPython Package Manager (WPPM), a Python program handling package managing tasks (install, uninstall or upgrade packages) for a portable Python distribution.
- Standard executable installers: distutils wininst (installer filename has the form: foo-1.0.win32-py2.7.exe)
- Standard source distributions[1]: distutils sdist (archive filename has the form: foo-1.0.tar.gz) -- but only for pure-Python packages
[1] This feature was implemented in WPPM v0.2dev included in WinPython v2.7.3.0beta3
The main website for finding and downloading Python packages is obviously PyPI , the Python Package Index.
Please note that Christoph Gohlke's Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages provides tons of ready-to-install distutils packages. WPPM GUI frontend
WPPM has a GUI frontend which is known as the WinPython Control Panel.
