[Numpy-discussion] Newbie trying to install NumPy

[Joe Piccoli]

Hello,

 

I've been trying to install NumPy to run with Eclipse on Windows Vista.
After installing (I thought) NumPy I was seeing:

 

ImportError: Error importing numpy: you should not try to import numpy from

        its source directory; please exit the numpy source tree, and
relaunch

        your python intepreter from there.

 

I next tried to follow the instructions from the scipy.org website and
downloaded and ran:

 

numpy-1.7.1-win32-superpack-python27.exe

 

This started up but I immediately saw the following dialog:

 

---------------------------

Cannot install

---------------------------

Python version 2.7 required, which was not found in the registry.

---------------------------

OK   

---------------------------

 

The next dialog prompted for a Python installation to use but the list box
was empty and it would not allow me to enter a path.

 

Is it absolutely necessary to build NumPy myself or is there a working
installation out there? I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know
what it is. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :).

 

Thanks,

Joseph A. Piccoli
