You're using an older version of setuptools or distribute that doesn't
support packages writing to /dev/null in their installation scripts.
If you are using setuptools (not distribute), you can upgrade using
"easy_install -U setuptools" to get the latest development snapshot,
which fixes this problem.  If you are using distribute, upgrade to a
newer version.

I can't guarantee you that this will let you install numpy the rest of
the way, but it will at least fix the SandboxViolation error.
