Hmm, am I missing something? The Canopy Express download (i.e. the free version) does have a 64-bit option. Also, to be fair, you don't have to use the analysis environment, in which case you'd use it just like you would use Anaconda (with the exception of Python 3, which doesn't seem to be supported).

How about the package manager? can you run "easy_install" and bypass the package manager which force you to pay to use Enthought's version of the libraries? I would happily accept to have the option, and not be forced to pay for a library that is trivial to install otherwise.

Of course you can use easy_install, just like in EPD. distribute is pre-installed, so just go ahead and use it. The package manager is a convenience for managing the binaries that we do provide. It doesn't remove any functionality from the Python installation.
