ActivePython is a precompiled, cross-platform, secure way for developers and data scientists to work with Python from desktop to production. To ensure that enterprises can safely adopt open source software (OSS) like Python in their mission critical applications, ActiveState has been in the business of providing supported, community-derived OSS language distributions for more than 20 years. When developing applications, writing scripts or the next machine learning algorithm, 97% of the Fortune 1000 think of ActiveState. Getting started with coding in Python easy - ActivePython is optimized to run consistently across your operating systems, with over 400 popular packages precompiled so you don’t have to do the plumbing to get started. The ActivePython distribution features popular third-party packages for data science/machine learning and web development, all of which have been carefully curated for license compliance and stale-dated components that may arise from lack of community support. Only then are the packages incorporated into ActiveState's distribution through a process of rigorous testing, patching and optimization to ensure compatibility and performance.
