• Enthought Canopy: The free and commercial versions include the core SciPy stack packages. Supports Linux, Windows and Mac.
• Python(x,y) A free distribution including the SciPy stack, based around the Spyder IDE. Windows only.
• WinPython: A free distribution including the SciPy stack. Windows only.
• Pyzo: A free distribution based on Anaconda and the IEP interactive development environment. Supports Linux, Windows and Mac.
