Now what? "Try simple commands"? Like "Lemme outta here!"?

Well, you might want to read up on some beginners guide for python? It's up to you, of course, but usually before starting with numpy (which extends python), it is advised to have at least some basic python understanding... Googling will give you plenty of good resources, if you'd like to. Then, for the sake of helping you further anyway: you'll have to mind the significance of paths (=directories or folders in windows speak I think). The folder you're currently in, will restrict what you find when typing commands. If you need to reference something from a different folder, you'll need to explicitly specify that. To build numpy, you'll need to be in the numpy source folder (the numpy you extracted from svn). But if you're there, simply typing 'python' or 'python.exe' will probably not work because 'python.exe' is in a different folder (c:\Python31). You could go into that folder, but then you would not be able to find numpy's setup.py script. Best way to solve that: make sure you're in the numpy folder, and type something like: 'c:\Python31\python.exe setup.py build'. That should get you started at least. However, if I'm allowed to give you some unaskedfor advice: this might become lots easier if you make sure you're at least a bit comfortable with 1) the windows command prompt, 2) python, and 3) building python stuff from svn source checkouts. No offence meant. But you sound as you feel a lot more comfortable with pre-built packages compared to building yourself from source on windows... Good luck anyway! Vincent Schut.
