3D plotting with python 2.5 on win32

I have already scipy 0.6.0 and numpy 1.0.4 installed, so
I assume I can ignore [nosets]

I will try to do tell setuptools to download all the stuff
instead of installing it at once, so I can install it on other pc's
even without internet connection.
(I have to look, I always forget the easy_install parameters)

Thanks. I know scipy.org already, its grea :-)

Yes, exact for the first step.

Then I will look if I can integrate a "3D Plot window"
in a wxPython application.
I want to write an application to analyse log files from nc machines,
and display the trajectories of the machine.

Looks nice, its also nice that its possible to
use parts of the enthon suite without using the full enthon installer.

While it may be nice for some peoples, I personally prefer
to install the standard python from python.org and add packages
independently.
(I tried the 2.4.3 enthon installer some time ago, but since
I had already a python 2.4.3 installation with moinmoin and trac for
example,
I didn't like this too much, ... don't remember exactly what I
didn't like exactly, by I deinstalled the whole enthon stuff rather
fast.

Again: the enthon installer is nice if somebody uses only this
suite :-)
Its a great work, congratulations !!)


Thanks, Peter
