Paul,
Wot, no AMD64?
Colin, this is well known from previous scipy and numpy releases. It's due to not having a freely available 64-bit compiler chain available at the moment with which we can build official binaries. You can get 64-bit Windows installers of most scientific Python distributions (like Anaconda, Enthough Canopy, WinPython) and for just Scipy from the site of Christoph Gohlke.
Your tone on this list is not appreciated by the way, it borders on trolling. If you have a serious question to which you really don't know the answer, please pose it in a less disrespectful way.
Ralf - honestly I think it's best not to use the term 'trolling' under any circumstances - it can be a heavy weapon [1], although it's perfectly reasonable to say to Colin that you would find it helpful if he used a different tone. In this case, I couldn't be sure whether Colin meant his email to be light-hearted or not. Colin - just to add to Ralf's reply on the 64-bit issue - here are a few links: * Stackoverflow answer with some references [2] * Numpy mailing list question about 64-bit installers in 2011 [3] * Another discussion I started in 2013 [4] * Commentary on problems for Numpy etc on Windows [5] * Our current best hope : Carl Kleffner's mingw-w64 build chain [6] If Carl K is listening here - Carl - what's the current best way to help?
