I too use EPD. On my machine, the VPython installer doesn't detect EPD and won't install. I'm on OS X 10.8.2 This is my python: Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) free version -- www.enthought.com Version: 7.3-2 (32-bit) (type 'upgrade' or see www.enthought.com/epd/upgrade to get the full EPD) Python 2.7.3 |EPD_free 7.3-2 (32-bit)| (default, Apr 12 2012, 11:28:34) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin Type "credits", "demo" or "enthought" for more information. Getting VPython to work with EPD would be great.
