[Numpy-discussion] cannot import name ccompiler

[Jason Braswell]

Hi, folks.  I'm a newbie trying to get started with SciPy on Windows.  I
installed it without problem, but when I try to import the SciPy module or
run the 'numpy' test, I get the following output:
***********************************************
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 89, in test
    return NumpyTest().test(level, verbosity)
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\numpy\testing\numpytest.py", line 288,
in
__init__
    from numpy.distutils.misc_util import get_frame
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\numpy\distutils\__init__.py", line 5,
in ?

    import ccompiler
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\numpy\distutils\ccompiler.py", line 6,
in
?
    from distutils.ccompiler import *
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\numpy\distutils\__init__.py", line 5,
in ?

    import ccompiler
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\numpy\distutils\ccompiler.py", line 7,
in
?
    from distutils import ccompiler #as ccompiler
ImportError: cannot import name ccompiler
*****************************************************************
I tried to fix it by adding damn near everything to my path, which now looks
like this:
*********************************************************************

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.
