An easy way out might be to ask him to uninstall Python and any modules like numpy. I'm not even sure how to do that.
More reasons to start out simpler. Have your partner install one of the remote access tools (GoToMyPC, LogMeIn, VNC, etc) and do the work yourself. And then install the changes yourself. Again, the practice on both systems will probably benefit you more at this stage than advanced technologies. Familiarizing yourself with the actions automated installation is required to perform will help you understand the tools better, and provides clues debugging the results when it doesn't quite work right. Don't make it any harder than it needs to be. Ultimately, a single byte update to a .py file shouldn't be any more involved than replacing the old file with the new revised file.
I'd use the links below -- there doesn't yet seem to be a 2.7 compatible released version of scipy yet, so this lists the most current compatible set of installable binaries.
As others have mentioned, don't use idle as you're doing. Give pythonwin (included with the activestate distribution) a try. Or try one of the free versions of Komodo or Wing.
