I tried to open and unzip with WinRAR but couldn't make sense of the content. BTW: easy_install for other installers like matplotlib also works nicely for virtualenv ---- However, the official installers are only for 32-bit python, and I appreciate all the efforts to "modernize" the numpy and scipy builds.
