 The more proximate reasonThat's not the reason why you are getting the error,
it's just that you don't need to and shouldn't try to execute that setup.py
since it's already installed. that you are getting that particular traceback is
because you don't have a compiler installed. However, that's not relevant here
since numpy.linalg is already installed.

  from numpy.linalg import *
  inv(...)

Or preferably:

  from numpy import linalg
  linalg.inv(...)
