Can't build numpy on my Windows 7 desktop computer
I have been unable to install on my Windows 7 desktop computer, which is a Dell - I had no problems installing it on my new laptop, which is also a Dell. When I try to run the superpack .exe file, I get a message claiming that Python2.7 is not in the registry even though it is and even though I was able to install pyodbc. If I download the zip file and try to use setup.py, I get messages like "No module named msvccompiler in numpy.distutils: trying from distutils error: unable to find vcvarsall.bat" I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.

Really bad error message - you are probably trying to install a 64 bit numpy into a 32 bit python, or vice versa -- make sure you are doing both the same. And I recommend the binaries from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ (or Anaconda or Canopy) -Chris

“No module named msvccompiler in numpy.distutils: trying from distutils
error: unable to find vcvarsall.bat”
I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.

It means it is trying to compile numpy, and you don't have the compiler set up to do that. But I suspect you don't want to anyway. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
