If you have a Python distribution like Canopy/Anaconda/Python(X,Y), then most of these packages might be already installed on your machine. If not, you can use pip or easy_install or any other package management tool to install them. You may even install these packages from source.

If you have trouble installing these packages, please refer to online documentation for the required packages. In any case, these packages will be distributed as a zipped bundle at the conference venue. You are encouraged to install them beforehand because that will save a lot of time.
