Sorry I wanted to ensure I had a clean slate and got the wrong Python version.

Having fixed that, I see the message so I do have the right version.

I can not import numpy in IDLE even if the anti-virus software is
disabled. However I can get to work with the command line without
disabling the anti-virus software. But I do get the occasional crash
when trying to import numpy.

Usually the test_scalarmath.TestTypes fails but occasionally it does
pass (10 to 20% of the time) and there are not further unexpected
failures.
