Am looking at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/0.8.0/
and I wonder which is the binary to install on WinXP ? 
As pointed to by this page, http://www.scipy.org/Download 

All I can see on that sourceforge page are the huge 
python2.6 and python2.7 Powerpacks, at 43megs or so 
each. The scipy-0.8.0.zip seems to require compilation. 


FYI: I'm installing Python 2.7, so have uninstalled all 
Python2.5 and Python2.6, including older numpy, scipy and 
matplotlib. 

Presently, prior to installation, I have; 
python-2.7.1.msi  (15.628 meg)
numpy-1.5.1-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe  (5.354 meg)
matplotlib-1.0.1.win32-py2.7.exe  (8.105 meg) 

Does the scipy 2.7 Powerpack include numpy anyway ? 

Any recommendations or pointers appreciated. Thanks.
