Overview

WinPython is a portable distribution of the Python programming language for Windows (https://winpython.github.io).

This is the winpython Python package, not the distribution itself. It includes two main features:

WinPython Package Manager (WPPM)

a complementary tool to navigate provided package list or register WinPython pip is the recommanded way to add or remove packages

WinPython build toolchain

make.py is the script used to build a WinPython distribution from (almost) scratch.

Dependencies

  • Python3 >= 3.8

Requirements

  • NSIS (for icon shortcut creations, installer can be NSIS, INNO, 7-Zip, or nothing)

Installation

From the source package (see section 'Building dependencies'), you may install WinPython using the following commands:

python -m pip install flit

python -m flit build

python -m pip install --no-index --trusted-host=None --find-links=.dist winpython

But the easiest way to install the last stable release of WinPython is by using an executable installer: https://winpython.github.io/
