There are potential compatibility problems with the binaries from
there as described at the top of the page. One thing is that you need
to use Christopher's own numpy build to go with scipy:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy
If you installed numpy from somewhere else then that could be your problem.

Essentially scipy isn't quite ported to Python 3.3 yet so my general
advice is to use Python 3.2 and to use the official numpy/scipy
binaries from sourceforge (they don't yet provide binaries for 3.3).

Alternatively an easier approach might be to use Python(x, y) (which
is free) or the Enthought Python Distribution (which is free for
academic users). These are distributions that bundle Python with
numpy/scipy and lots of other packages. I think they both still use
Python 2.7 though.

(As an aside, this is all much simpler if you're using Ubuntu or some
other Linux distro rather than Windows.)
