Hello everyone,

Our mechanical engineering department at our university is currently
working to replace MATLAB with a Python Suite and I've recently
discovered Spyder along the way.  In order for this project to go
forward, we need to have install procedures prepared for Windows,
Ubuntu, and Mac OS X.  The situation with Windows is quite simple with
the install of python(x,y), but this masks a lot of details that need
to be addressed when doing an Ubuntu install (have not tried Mac
yet).  I was hoping that someone in this group could please tell me
the bare minimums that need to be installed for Spyder to operate as a
suitable MATLAB replacement.  For example, using the Synaptic Package
Manager in Ubuntu 11.10, I was able to complete a Spyder install.
Afterwards, I opened the program and began using commands listed in
the numpy tutorial.  The question is, have all dependencies been taken
care of, allowing me to begin running Spyder after installing via
Synaptic Package Manager? Or do I need to follow a more detailed
procedure?  In case you need to know, I have moderate experience in
Ubuntu and I am a decent MATLAB user trying to break through to the
Python world.  I don't have a learned Python community in my
department and any help that you could give would be great.
