========= Downloads ========= Stable Versions --------------- The stable versions of PyTables can be downloaded from the file `download area`_ on SourceForge.net. The full distribution contains a copy of this documentation in HTML. The documentation in both HTML and PDF formats can also be downloaded separately from the same URL. A *pure source* version of the package (mainly intended for developers and packagers) is available on the `tags page`_ on GitHub. It contains all files under SCM but not the (generated) files, HTML doc and *cythonized* C extensions, so it is smaller that the standard package (about 3.5MB). Windows binaries can be obtained from many different distributions, like `Python(x,y)`_, ActiveState_, or Enthought_. In addition, Christoph Gohlke normally does an excellent job by providing binaries for many interesting software on his `website `_.
