I tried to run a Python script with multiprocessing on windows. see this tutorial

It does not work on Windows, but on raspian it went very well. Thus I knew that it was a Windows problem. I installed cygwin and followed this tutorial Installing Python inside Cygwin.

After that I additionally installed numpy with the command easy_install numpy and now i can run python scripts with multiprocessing on windows (from cygwin).

PyDev and Komodo Edit are 2 nice Python IDE on Windows.

I also like the SciTE text editor very much.

These 3 solutions make possible to run Python scripts

Take a look at ActiveState's ActivePython. It's quite a nice implementation of Python on Windows. Another way is using Cygwin's Python port. These two are Python implementations. I don't use an IDE, I write my Python code in Notepad++.

To run a python program after saving it to C:\Users\vaibhav\Code\myscript.py:

  1. ActivePython: If I remember right, ActiveState updates the path correctly. So it should be a s simple as:

    • Press "start" in the task bar
    • In the search field search for "cmd"
    • In the appearing box navigate to your folder with the python script: dir Users\vaibhav\Code
    • call python myscript.py and you're done

  2. Cygwin: After installing Cygwin, you have a full-featured bash terminal on your Windows machine.

    • click on the Cygwin icon on your desktop
    • In the appearing window navigate to the folder with your python script: cd /cygdrive/c/Users/vaibhav/Code
    • type python myscript.py
    • e voila

I like the EasyEclipse for python distribution. You'd need to have python and java installed of course.

IDE for running scripts? You can have any IDE you like, but if you need only to run python scripts you go like this:

python.exe pythonScript.py
