<p>WinPython is a free open-source portable distribution of the <a href="https://www.python.org/">Python programming language</a> for Windows XP/7/8, designed for scientists, supporting both 32bit and 64bit versions of Python 2 and Python 3.</p>

<li><strong>Flexible</strong>: one can install (or should I write "use" as it's portable) as many WinPython versions as necessary (like isolated and self-consistent environments), even if those versions are running different versions of Python (2.7, 3.3 or 3.4) or different architectures (32bit or 64bit) on the same machine </li>

<p>WinPython vs. Python(x,y): <strong>WinPython is not an attempt to replace <a href="https://code.google.com/p/pythonxy/">Python(x,y)</a></strong>, this is just something different (see <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/Roadmap"><!-- TODO -->motivation and concept</a>): more flexible, easier to maintain, movable and less invasive for the OS, but certainly less user-friendly, with less packages/contents and without any integration to Windows explorer.</p>

<p>WinPython is <strong>something different</strong> from other Python Distributions (see historic <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/winpython/wiki/Roadmap"> motivation and concept</a>):</p>
70+
<ul>
71+
<li><strong>non-invasive</strong>: Winpython lives entirely in its own directory, without any OS installation</li>
72+
<li><strong>flavors</strong>: releases with added packages are created to better fit a <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/stonebig.u/files/Winpython_flavors/">domain</a> out-of-the-box</li>
73+
<li><strong>do your own flavor</strong>: a winpython-creator <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/stonebig.u/files/Do_It_Yourself/">kit</a> is made available for you</li>
