Seriously? If I have MSVC 2010 installed, pip install numpy will correctly build numpy from source? It's a *long* time since I tried this, but I really thought building numpy was harder than that. A quick test later: No BLAS/ATLAS/LAPACK causes a string of warnings, And ignoring the rest of the error stack (which I'm frankly not interested in investing the time to diagnose and fix) I get "RuntimeError: Broken toolchain: cannot link a simple C program". Which is utter rubbish - I routinely build extensions with this installation. So no, numpy does not build out of the box. Ah well.
