Actually, explaining how to get Python working on Windows is far, far easier than on either linux (modulo various distros) or the Mac. That's because there is one obvious distribution of Python to use, the official one, and new versions of it are always consistent and play well together.

Yes you can use Anaconda if you want, and people who do that are probably data scientists or something and know what they want to do and why. It's well documented and has it's own robust ecosystem.

I say this as someone who's been on Macs at home since 2007 and works professionally on Linux, but I started with Python on Windows back in 2002.
