[Distutils] problem with installing NumPy under WinNT

[Berthold Hoellmann]

Hello,

I tried to install NumPy under NT using setup_numpy.py from distutils
0.8. Compiling failed because Python.h could not be found. I tracked it
down to the following:

Python 1.5.2 (#0, Apr 13 1999, 10:51:12) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> from distutils import sysconfig
>>> sysconfig.exec_prefix
'""'
>>> import sys
>>> sys.exec_prefix
'G:\\bin\\Python'
>>> sysconfig.EXEC_PREFIX
'""'
>>>

I guess, sysconfig.EXEC_PREFIX should return '"G:\\bin\\Python"', but I
have no idea, what's going wrong here.

Thanks

Berthold
