This is our MVP, so there are a lot of shared features with some other existing projects. One of our "deep tech" features I don't think anyone else has is the ability to quickly and dynamically switch between different Python environments, meaning that you can easily try out new versions of libraries or test your code with new versions of Python.

We are also iterating on the overall UI and user workflow, to really facilitate the data exploration & analysis process with Python.

lmonade (http://www.lmona.de) is another (free) scientific software distribution that tries to address these problems. The technology underlying lmonade, basically Gentoo linux, can handle this.

Thanks for the pointer! However, note that we offer all of the Scientific Python stack built against each of these interpreter versions (and against different Numpy/Scipy versions) as well. :-)
