Well, it should be there. Perhaps it was installed by a different user,
and will only show up when that user goes into CP?

Do you recall what procedure you have used for installation?

Correct. I keep building the installers, but was asked to put Python
Software Foundation into the creator field of the MSI file.

There is no way this can be attributed to an addition of a single character.

In your partner's version of numpy.testing, there is no name NumpyTest.
That sounds alright - in my version of numpy, there is no
numpy.testing.NumpyTest, either. However, the line in
special\__init__.py, on my system, reads

from numpy.testing import Tester

So it looks like that the scipy version and the numpy version don't
match.
