Could you elaborate on Python being weird on Windows?

Python is a set of packages. On Windows, you're supposed to use a distribution, such as Anaconda.

Even then, building some of the fancier libraries (with native code) by hand is bit involved.

In fact, Anaconda works very well on Windows, as long as you don't require extreme latest versions of modules.
