I am a absolute newbie for python. I am quite frustrated by install new packages.

My computer is win 7 x86. The newest python3.5 is installed (the official one).

The pip and ez_stall functions well already. I tried to install numpy by pip install numpy or ez_stall numpy, but both failed. The first error msg says I need Visual Studio installed, the second tell me it cannot find numpy.

So I go to download .zip file from SF. The newest support for python is 3.4 (I have 3.5); I downloaded numpy-1.9.2-win32-superpack-python3.4.exe anyway. It is not surprising that when I try to run the exe file, it complains that "Python 3.4 is required, which was not found in the registry. " Is there any work around?

There was a similar question asked, but the answers there did not answer my question.

  • If you would like to avoid the hassle of compiling extension modules yourself you can use a binary distribution like `anaconda` – cel Sep 26 '15 at 06:58
  • Thanks to the Python Extension Packages for Windows - Christoph Gohlke, I have installed pandas. – Ma Ming Nov 10 '15 at 16:35

There is an easier way to do this. If like you said you already have pip installed, then install scipy and you'll have numpy installed.

  #On unix like environments
  sudo pip install scipy

  #on windows like environments
  pip install scipy

Or you could just download from there site and compile. All steps for building are on that site

I had the same problem. I solved it my installing miniconda, and from that numpy.
