need advice on installing NumPy onto a Windows 7 with Python2.7 (32-bit)
Hi, I am trying to install NumPy (using numpy-1.6.1-win32-superpack-python2.7) on a Windows 7 machine that has 32-bit Python 2.7 installed on it using the latest installer (python-2.7.2.msi). Python is installed into the default location, C:\Python27, and as far as I can tell the registry knows about it -- or at least the windows uninstaller in the control panel does... The installation fails because the NumPy installer cannot find the Python installation. I am then prompted with a screen that should allow me to type in the location of my python installation, but the text-boxes where I should type this do not allow input so I'm kind of stuck. I did look into trying to build from source, but I don't have a C compiler on this system so setup.py died a horrible death. I'd prefer to avoid having to install Visual C++ Express on this system. Does anyone have any suggestions that might be helpful? Thanks! -William
To avoid all the hassle I suggest getting EPD: http://enthought.com/products/epd.php You'd get way more than just NumPy, which may or may not be what you need. I have installed various NumPy's on linux only and from source only which did require compilation (gcc), so I am not a good help for your setup. On the hand, I've done multiple EPD installations on various platforms and never had problems. Val On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 11:09 PM, William McLendon <wcmclen@gmail.com>wrote:

It seems weird that it wouldn't work, as this is a pretty standard setup. Here's a few ideas of things to check: - Double-check it's really 32 bit Python (checking sys.maxint) - Is there another Python installation that may cause some conflicts? - Did you download the numpy superpack from the official website? - Reboot Unlikely to be helpful, but I can't think of something else right now :/ -=- Olivier 2012/1/27 William McLendon <wcmclen@gmail.com>

Yup, it's 32-bit python: Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
I've only got one python instance installed here :D Here's where I got the numpy installer, http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.6.1/, as far as I can tell this should be the right place. Python has been installed on this system for a while and it's been rebooted numerous times, I can't imagine that it wouldn't be there. Matplotlib's installer had no trouble finding Python.

Sorry then, I'm afraid I'm out of (simple ideas). Out of curiosity, I tried to install Python 2.7.2 and numpy 1.6.1 on a Windows 7 computer and it worked just fine, so it must be something with your specific setup... -=- Olivier 2012/1/27 William McLendon <wcmclen@gmail.com>
