Since Python 3.0 was released I’m regularly checking essential python packages that I currently use. And since I’m visiting more or less the same sites on a regular basis I decided to write down my list of packages that I use with the flag [python 3=Y, x86=Y|N, x64=Y|N] if there is at least support for Python 3 on Windows:

Essential packages:

---

• Python interpreter [python 3.1=Y, x86=Y, x64=Y]
• Python Extensions for Windows [python 3.1, x86=Y, x64=Y]
• cx_Oracle [python 3.1=Y, x86=Y, x64=Y]
• PyQt4 – GPL version [python 3.1=Y, x86=Y, x64=N]
• Py2exe [python 3.1=N]

And some less often used modules:

---

• cx_freeze [python 3.1=Y, x86=Y, x64=Y]
• matplotlib
• MySQL for Python
• ActiveState recipe – Colorize Python source [N/A]
• ReportLab Toolkit (pdf library)
