 ====== Compiling Spyder (Python IDE) ======
-Spyder is a matlab-like IDE for scientific computing. Following assumes that numpy and scipy is already installed in your python. I compiled spyder in both windows (32bit) and OSX machine (64bit) and both worked well. Below is compiling procedure for Windows.

See notes at the end of this page for the reason I set them up by myself.

 ===== Install SIP (source). =====
+After installing Qt, use Qt-command prompt (you will see it under menu tree start - programs - Qt by Nokia... ) for installing SIP and PyQt. Much less problem occurs by using this Qt specific command prompt.

+Note: I had to clean system environmental path before making the PyQt to work. Specifically, I deleted // c:\python26\lib\site-packages\pyQt\bin// from the Path, which I added a year ago when I first installed PyQt. This old installation was working, but had some problems with addressing the location of PyQt binaries. In the end, I had to move all the libraries under PyQt\bin to PyQt root (many people suggested so and indeed it worked, though awkward)

+Note:  The problem I encountered is "AccessInit: hash collision: 3 for both 1 and 1" error, related to the name space conflict coming from PIL package. For this error, refer to [[http://jaredforsyth.com/blog/2010/apr/28/accessinit-hash-collision-3-both-1-and-1/|here]] or [[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2485295/the-problem-with-installing-pil-using-virtualenv-or-buildout|here]]. Afterward, I found more up-to-date fork of PIL (PIL has not been developed for pretty long time) [[http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/1.6|called "Pillow"]]. I might have tried using it if I knew before, but since current setup is working, I might try later when I encounter other problems.
