I've been using the Enthought Python Distribution for about a month, and like it a lot. I test my code in ipython, which gives me the following when I launch it in a terminal :
Enthought Python Distribution -- www.enthought.com
Python 2.7.3 |EPD 7.3-2 (64-bit)| (default, Apr 12 2012, 11:14:05)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
IPython 0.12.1 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
? -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help -> Python's own help system.
object? -> Details about 'object', use 'object??' for extra details.
I'm now looking for an IDE, and I've come across problems with Canopy - specifically, getting it to use my Enthought distribution as their live consoles, much like my ipython works.
I can't find anywhere to change the interpreter under Canopy. When it launches, it gives me
Welcome to Canopy's interactive data-analysis environment!
with pylab-backend set to: None
Type '?' for more information.
This isn't using EPD, and thus, isn't using any of the packages that I've got installed.
Any ideas would be fantastic !
Thanks.
