The log file shows:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:\\docume~1\\thomas\\locals~1\\temp\\tmp_yrykj\\normal.npy'

Is this some sort of permissions error or something specific to Thomas' machine? I don't want this to show up in the 1.1.1 release and I'm wondering if there is an easy fix besides disabling the test.

It is not specific to Thomas' machine, I had the same problems on all my machines running windows xp. I believe it is a problem related to path idiosyncraties/encoding, but I could not find a way to solve it (I did not try hard).

I think this is an ongoing problem with the temp files on windows. ISTR a thread about that some time back. Chuck
