[Numpy-discussion] Building Numpy 1.6.2 for Python 3.3 on Windows

[klo]

>> Numpy <= 1.6 is not compatible with Python 3.3. Use numpy >= 1.7.0rc1.
> Thanks for the tip
> 1.7.0rc builds without issue

Actually, this isn't over. It builds fine, but when I try to import 
numpy I get error:

========================================
...
from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite 
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
========================================

Google reveals that PATH has to be updated with "C:\Python33\Scripts" 
path, but then when I run `python3 setup.py build` I get another 
error:

========================================
C:\src\numpy-1.7.0rc1>python3 setup.py build
Converting to Python3 via 2to3...

Any ideas?
