I'm a Windows/XP user, primarily (occasional Linux use).There isn't really a big difference. ActivePython is just Python 2.2 bundled with win32all (Mark Hammonds superb extensions for Windows). The only real difference is the Python help files that come in Windows CHM format.
I use Activestate's ActivePython, 2.2.2. My major reason is that I used to use ActivePerl a lot, and when I decided to give Python a whirl, it seemed logical to use ActivePython.
Now that Python 2.3 is out, I'm looking ahead to when I'm going to cut over to 2.3, and I'm wondering: what are the reasons to install either ActivePython (when 2.3 becomes available) or the standard Windows Python from python.org?
Any opinions?
ActivePython: http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython/
Python.org: http://www.python.org/2.3/
If you install ActivePython you don't get a shotcut for IDLE as PythonWin is the default Python editor then.
