A colleague is attempting to install numpy on an NT machine. How is this done? I tried to help, but the install procedure is apparently different from what I am accustomed on Unix. It appears that the python-numpy-15.2.zip is a precompiled distribution ready for dumping into some directory. Since it doesn't contain a setup.py, I presume that Distutils isn't necessary. Also, what is the accepted way of setting PYTHONPATH on NT? Thanks, Jeff
Indeed. You can just unzip it straight in to your main Python directory (typically C:\Program Files\Python).

Go to the control panel, click on the System icon, pick the Environment tab, and add an entry (usually in the USER section) for PYTHONPATH. But you only need to do so if you don't want to install NumPy in the main Python directory. --david
