The change in 1.10.1 only affects msvc, which is not what most people are using (IIUC Enthought Canopy uses msvc, but the pypi, gohlke, and Anaconda builds don't).

Anaconda uses MSVC for the most part -- they _may_ compile numpy itself some other way, no one but continuum knows for sure :-)

I'm actually not sure if anyone even uses the 32 bit builds at all :-)

There's a lot of 32 bit python use out there still, including numpy.

We ever figure out a way to get a meaningful message to the user if they try to run an SSE2 build on a machine without SSE2?

It's not that difficult in principle, just someone has to do it :-).

yeah, there's always that ....
