Thanks Ralf, I was trying with MSVC 9.0 installed, but got this cryptic error: C:\Downloads\numpy-1.7.0b2 > C:\python33\python setup.py build ... error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat After sprinkling distutils with debug statements, I found it was looking for MSVC v10 (not numpy's fault but the error is most unhelpful). Presumably "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition" is the appropriate thing to download? http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2010-express Thanks, Peter _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
