Enthought Canopy - Comprehensive Python analysis environment (enthought.com)

I have become such a huge fan of doing analysis work in iPython's notebooks lately, I am curious how this will improve on it.

So far nothing works for me. The kernel keeps crashing and the package manager or login screen fail to work on my connection because I am behind a proxy. There are no options to set the proxy connection parameters, from what I can find. I would assume if they are targeting enterprise customers they should probably help with package management behind an aggressive proxy.


I've been using EPD for a long time and it's been a rock solid way of installing the full scientific python stack, especially on a Mac. Very curious to see where this goes, although it seems more targeted at the Matlab crowd who develops in their IDE/computing environment.


Just FYI, Canopy includes the same Python distribution as EPD with the analysis environment on top. It includes a new graphical package manager that simplifies some package update tasks.
