Intel® Distribution for Python* 2023 Update 2 Release Notes
1 Introduction
The Python* programming language is an open-source programming language with increasing
adoption by developers across many application domains and a large ecosystem of available free
packages. In particular, the packages commonly used for numerical and scientific computation, called
the SciPy stack, are very popular and heavily used.

Intel® Distribution for Python* is a binary distribution of Python interpreter and commonly used
packages for computation and data intensive domains, such as scientific and engineering computing,
big data, and data science. The product supports Python 3.9 for Windows and Linux. The product
simplifies Python installation by providing packages in a binary form so that everything is pre-
configured and no compilation tools are needed, as well as contains all the dependences for running
on popular OS platforms. Python packages have been accelerated with Intel® Performance Libraries,
including Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® oneMKL), Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® oneTBB),
Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP), and Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library
(Intel® oneDAL). The packages have been optimized to take advantage of parallelism through the use
of vectorization, multi-threading and multi-processing, as well as through the use of optimized
communication across multiple nodes.

This document provides system requirements, installation instructions, and lists issues and
limitations.
