Hi,  I tend to get files left behind for 32-bit versions of Python 3.1 and Python3.2 usually after I have ran the tests and then immediately try to uninstall it using the Windows uninstaller via control panel.

With  Python 3.1 files are left behind have the '.pyd' suffix: C:\Python31\Lib\site-packages\numpy\linalg\lapack_lite.pyd C:\Python31\Lib\site-packages\numpy\fft\fftpack_lite.pyd

With Python 3.2, most are in the  __pycache__ directories. I do not see these  __pycache__ directories with Python3.1 binary installer.

__pycache__ is a feature added in python 3.2 to my knowledge: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147 cheers, David
