 Resources
 :::::::::
 
+Installation of scientific  Python packages can be troublesome. Many of these
+packages are implemented as Python C extensions which need to be compiled.
+This section lists various so-called Python distributions which provide precompiled and 
+easy-to-install collections of scientific Python packages.
+
+Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
 Many people who do scientific computing are on Windows. And yet many of the
 scientific computing packages are notoriously difficult to build and install.
 `Christoph Gohlke <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/>`_ however, has
 compiled a list of Windows binaries for many useful Python packages. The list
 of packages has grown from a mainly scientific python resource to a more
 general list. It might be a good idea to check it out if you're on Windows.
