 Windows Notes
 =============
 
-We recommend you use one of the excellent python collections which include
-Python itself and a wide range of libraries including matplotlib:
-
-- Anaconda_ from `Continuum Analytics`_
-- Canopy_ from Enthought_
-- `Python (x, y) <https://code.google.com/p/pythonxy>`_
-
-Python (X, Y) is Windows-only, whereas Anaconda and Canopy are cross-platform.

-Standalone binary installers for Windows
-----------------------------------------
-
-If you have already installed Python and numpy, you can use one of the
-matplotlib binary installers for windows -- you can get these from the
-`the PyPI matplotlib page <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/matplotlib>`_
-site.  Choose the files with an ``.exe`` extension that match your
-version of Python (e.g., ``py2.7`` if you installed Python 2.7).  If
-you haven't already installed Python, you can get the official version
-from the `Python web site <http://python.org/download/>`_.
