Compare and contrast using Enthought and installing individual libraries. I am not clear on the benefits each option offers.
Enthought allows for a lot of scientific and mathematic libraries to be installed through the ease of a UI. This however, means you could be installing a good deal of libraries that are irrelevant to your needs. It does however come with a suite for visualizing your code.
Although it takes more time, going out and looking at different releases of specific libraries that are more centric to your requirements would probably be more beneficial. Mainly NumPy, SciPy and PyTables would be large ones to go and install yourself.
In the end, it’s all up to you if you want to download bulk with a lot of good stuff easily… with some unnecessary baggage; or, you could research and install specific libraries to fit your needs so you know exactly what to use, and how… for ‘cheaper’ on a data level anyways.
Personally, I’d probably install Enthought.
