Having acquired a new laptop yesterday with

Personally I always install ActiveState Python on
Windows so that I can set up the Pythonwin IDE and
use the ActiveState Windows help viewer for the
Python docs.

The installer should do everything you need for
you. (You may have to locate the pyhonwin exe and
set up a shortcut - I seem to recall that was not
done by the installer for Win 10...

Caveat: ActiveState are sometimes a few months
behind with their python versions so might not
have the very latest build out yet.


I  tried to install activestate on win 10 but due to my ignorance or
lack of knowlege i could n't get to install pyqt or sip. i tried it
through pip.

Even on basic installation i am getting it hard to find installation of
sip.  How the hell do i get it installed, because i want to work on pyqt
and it doesn't install without sip.

But Winpython portable version works like a charm on windows.
