I have been reading about NumPy and SciPy and could not find any definitive answers to my questions, below.  I had run into many mostly installation problems that I could never get NumPy or SciPy to work with Python 3.3 or newer.  I am using Windows7 64 bit OS.

Building the scientific libraries on windows is very tricky because you 
need a compatible C and Fortran compiler, as well as some libraries. The 
usual and recommended route is to use python distributions where the 
most used libraries are installed. You can still use pip to install 
additionnal packages. You have a list over here:
