In distutils there are three files that provide some interactive setup:
1. numpy/distutils/core.py 2. numpy/distutils/fcompiler/gnu.py 3. numpy/distutils/interactive.py
In Python3 `raw_input` has been renamed 'input' and python2 'input' is gone. I propose that the easiest solution to this compatibility problem is to remove all support for interactive numpy setup.
Thoughts?

I've built numpy on many different machines, including supercomputers, and I have never used interactive setup. I agree with the proposal to remove it.

I note that the way to access it is to run python setup.py with no arguments. I wonder what the proper message should be in that case?

How about usage instructions and an error message, similar to what a basic distutils setup script would provide?

Just let distutils handle it.
$ python setup.py usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...] or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...] or: setup.py --help-commands or: setup.py cmd --help
error: no commands supplied
Anyone who was expecting the interactive setup will probably complain here.
