[Numpy-discussion] need advice on installing NumPy onto a Windows 7 with Python2.7 (32-bit)

[Olivier Delalleau]

Sorry then, I'm afraid I'm out of (simple ideas). Out of curiosity, I tried
to install Python 2.7.2 and numpy 1.6.1 on a Windows 7 computer and it
worked just fine, so it must be something with your specific setup...
