For the Window version, we locate the executable python.exe file at c:\anaconda and then click on it. The following Python window will appear:

To test whether we have correctly installed NumPy and SciPY, we need to type the following two commands to import them. If there is no error, it means that we have installed them correctly.

>>>import numpy as np
>>>import scipy as sp  

In the last several chapters, we know that we could use from numpy import * instead of import numpy as np to make all functions included in the NumPy module into our namespace. However, most developers prefer to use import numpy as np. From now on, we will follow this tradition. The second reason is that using sp.pv() instead of pv() makes it clearer that the pv() function is from a module called sp. To generate a Python icon on the desktop, we generate a shortcut first, and then move it from c:\anaconda to our desktop.
