not on Windows, anyway -- for the most part, people use easy_install with vitualenv. Compiling stuff on Windows is a big 'ol pain in the ^%^&$$, and remarkably few people do it. easy_install is quite capable of installing binary packages (except Universal ones on OS_X...), it would be nice if numpy supported it. > I now remember that numpy could not be built from sources by > easy_install, but I believe we fixed the problem. It would still only work if the user was properly set up to compile python extensions -- not a very common occurrence. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
